Time to Know
Time is irreversible
Value = Time + Money
Love is spelt as T.I.M.E. to your loved ones
Interruptions will always happen
Time investments compound
“I don't have time” = lower priority
Time required for something expands according to expectations
At the HEART…
Only three things really matter in Time Management:
Prioritize
To-do List
Maximize
1. Prioritize
“ Concentrate on results, not on being busy”
1. Prioritize
Pareto Principle: 80/20 rule
20 percent of the people will eat 80 percent of the food! Picnic 20 percent of the people will make 80 percent of the decisions Leadership 20 percent of the people will give 80 percent of the money Donations 20 percent of the book contains 80 percent of the content Reading 20 percent of the products bring in 80 percent of the profit Products
1. Prioritize Important Urgent L H H DO this. Deadline. Markers. Automate. Predict. Delegate. Delay. Downtime. Don’t do.
1. Prioritize
How to Shortcut Time
pre-work
automation
personality
momentum
shortcuts
Pre-emptive
Tools
<eg of cooking and how to save time doing it>
2. To-do List
“ Trying to remember stuff is the major cause of stress.”
2. To-do List ! ↓ Task 3 Task 2 Task 1
2. To-do List
Must do. If not, don’t continue
Prioritize
Update
Discipline. Morning/Evening.
Work/Life List
3. Maximize
“ It’s the little things that kill you”
3. Maximize
Analyze the time wasters in your day.
Use the on/off button on your TV
Plan your day's activities each morning or every evening before bed.
Use meal times effectively and enjoyably
Use a to-do list/check off items when completed for a sense of accomplishment
Decide upon your goals and objectives and periodically update them
3. Maximize
Set PRIORITIES
Control visitors
If you need to see someone, go to their office/room/house, you can always leave.
Keep a neat working area
Write notes on calendars
When you see a gift that would be perfect for someone for a birthday or Raya/Christmas, buy it right then instead of waiting until the week before the event, even if you are months ahead of schedule.
3. Maximize
Put undone work aside in an orderly fashion
Take short breaks
If you think you will have to wait-take work with you: e.g. letters you need to write/office-work, etc.
Work hard/PLAY HARD
Communicate openly, frankly and clearly and tactfully. Don't beat around the bush.
Make your deadlines known to others so they will respect your schedule
3. Maximize
Group common activities: it is easier than you think to do more than one thing at a time.
Don't complain
Don't whine
Break big tasks into little ones
KL stress & time wasters
Parking
Traffic
Lines
What is Time’s worth to you?
Personally speaking…
Small time segments
Do things at times that no one else is doing it:
Traffic
Shopping
Holiday
ATM
Carry paper & pen (or PDA)
Pre-work
Internet (search, templates, tools)
Forced Break Times
Break Time
Ease Stress:
time alone
reading
gym
friends
games
songs
movie
driving around
shopping
mamak
good book
toilet
yoga
walking around
Staring at ceiling
(whatever eases you)
Personally speaking…
Allocate extra time for all task planning (this includes traveling)
Judge and manage personalities
Control phone calls (call out, return call out)
In phone calls (or face-to-face) – serious first, social second
Learn to say ‘No’
Planned Annual Leave
Wednesday leave
Personally speaking…
Plan for 6.30 exit
Automobile University
Fat = 50% (money) + 100% (time)
Summary…
Only three things really matter in Time Management:
Prioritize
To-do List
Maximize
Decide to decide
Decide to decide
Decide on your Life priorities.
Remember who you are really working for.
Go home.
Who are you really working for?
Why manage Time?
“ What scares me more than death?
It is that I lived, and died, and I did not do anything significant with my life.”
Time Management = Sacrifice
Endnote Is it worth it?
