“Scheduling your priorities, not prioritizing your schedule” --Stephen Covey

Don't prioritize your schedule, schedule your priorities. This is one of my favorite bits of wisdom from Stephen Covey's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. If something is really important to you, simply make the time for it. Sure, some stuff will give way - you're only human, and you can only do so much. Set aside time for product development, marketing, personal development, exercise, rest, etc. Whatever disappears wasn't really that important.

Feeling that a little reward is in order, Max gets up and heads for the coffee room, where he refills his cup and chats briefly with two colleagues,. Settling back into his desk, Max soon notice that he has two new emails, “I’d better check these out” he tell himself. After he replies to those messages, Max revisits his report. But he can’t start where he left off—he has lost his train of thought.

And I also enjoy findings message from my personal friends. On the other hand, I dread facing the 20 or 30 emails that are either misdirected or irreverent to me, and another 20 or 30 messages will hit my inbox before the day is over, Worse, I have to open most of them to find out they are irrelevant. Also as my mail box get bigger, it’s extremely hard for me to find my desired emails.

Case isStudy 3 is highly motivated staff. He is also Harvey a hard worker and willing to do whatever is necessary to help his team to accomplish its goals. When Mary, the team leader says, “Someone should develop a proposal for the next stage of our project,” most people hunch down in their seats or start looking at their notebooks, “Can some one take care of this”? Mary asks again. Seeing that no one else will volunteer, Harvey steps up to the task, as he always does. His behavior is also predictable, in fact that his teammate know that if they resist the urge to volunteer long enough, Harvey eventually will step forward to do it. And when he get the work done, it’s always done well, because he is a dedicated perfectionist. But the problem is that Harvey has trouble to get things done on time, because he has overloaded himself with commitments.

Knowing the responsibility and goals, don’t overtake the tasks Don’t assume that everything must be done, remember the time matrix Learn to say no to your boss, negotiating with your boss Delegate, delegation is not dumping, do the ugliest thing by yourself.
