My Top 2 tips to Time Management.

If you are in business or in a leading role, then I can bet you are spending (rather wasting) tons of your time which can be used far more efficiently. These time management tips I am sharing here will help you a lot.

1. Close your Email Client – First thing you should do is Close your email client. I have noticed this trend in offices, employees (and their bosses) have their email client open 24/7.

Call me rude, but in the office you get paid for doing the work, not check your emails.

I know many people might get angry and protest saying that “our clients are open so that we can get business related emails”.

And my counter argument against it is very simple. Every time You get email, you get distracted from whatever you are doing. Whenever you’ll get distracted, it’ll take you at least few minutes to be able to concentrate on your work. By then, you’ll receive another email and again the process goes on and on and on.

Why I am telling you this? Because I’ve seen one of my friend in the office. His email clients goes off “Ding” every 5 minutes and I checked few of his so called “Office” emails and they are nothing but useless stuff (I am not calling it junk just for the respect of my buddy).

So, now you know, you are wasting tons of time with these distractions. You can close off the client and then get more productive.

2. Improving efficiency by creating better workload – Another big issue people do is they do not organize their work load for the day. If you organize what you are going to do for the day the moment you sit on your desk, you’ll save lots of time, improve efficiency and work better.

Again, one of the hidden problem organizing is “distraction”. If you just club up same kind of work in a huge chunk and finish it, you’ll be far more efficient and you don’t have to re-new your concentration.

So if you are going to call up few people during the day, Find a time slot when you can call all of them and do it in one go. Your concentration will be 100%. You’ll be more focussed on the task at hand (there’s no “Oh Shit I had to call Mr John at 3:00pm”).

Now I suggest try these out for few days and take notice of the changes around you. You’ll notice How efficient you’re after doing this?
