This document discusses various time management techniques including activity logs, Pareto analysis, and prioritization matrices. It recommends keeping activity logs to audit your time use, identify time wasters, and ensure you spend at least 20% of your time on the highest impact activities. The document also introduces "To Do" lists and prioritization matrices to categorize tasks by importance and urgency in order to focus on important urgent tasks first. Effective time management requires analyzing how you currently spend your time, setting goals for time use, and using tools like logs, lists, and matrices to structure your schedule optimally.
2. Time Management –
Manage the “Now”
"Time is the scarcest resource of the
manager; if it is not managed, nothing
else can be managed.”
Peter.F.Drucker, (1909-2005), Management Guru
8. Activity Logs and Pareto Analysis
• Compare the activity log that you have
just constructed with your Job Role chart
and identify the 20% of your activities
that contribute to 80% of your results
9. Analyzing Your Activity Log
• Which activities do I need to spend more time on or
less time on?
• What time did I start my number one priority each
day?
• What did I do that could be eliminated or delegated to
someone else?
• What else should I be doing?
• How do these activities relate to my long term goals
and objectives?
10. Activity Log
• How would you like your activity log to
look six months from now?
• Create this activity log for the future and
identify the key areas where you need to
spend more time and the areas that you
need to spend lesser time

Editor's Notes
What Is Time Management? Compare The Clock And The CompassAsk the participants to come up with ideas on what the clock and compass mean in their livesAfter their responses introduce the following discussionIn his book: First Things First, Stephen Covey argues that how we think about time can be characterized by the metaphors: clock and compass. The clock represents the activities, the appointments and the tasks that fill up our day.The compass represents the importance that tasks take on and the direction that we want our lives to take."The struggle comes when we sense a gap between the clock and the compass – when what we do, doesn’t contribute to what is most important in our lives."

The facilitator must encourage participants to write their own activity log.It is important that they must write a log of the tasks that they performThe following slides may be used as an example to illustrate this activity
