6. 46-75
You're managing your time very effectively! Still, if there's
anything you can tweak to make this even better ?
31-45
You're good at some things, but there's room for
improvement elsewhere. Focus on the serious issues that
we will talk about, and you'll most likely find that work
becomes much less stressful.

Ouch. The good news is that you've got a great
opportunity to improve your effectiveness at work, and
your long term success! However, to realize this, you've
got to fundamentally improve your time management
skills.
Score Interpretation
8. “Successful people are great at making
and keeping goals. You should make an
effort to read your list of long term and
short term goals every day. Whether
you have short term goals like keeping
up with job performance, or long term
goals like obtaining a degree
from Harvard, reviewing your goals can
help keep you on track.”
9. But maybe you
are thinking…
Should I do that
only because
successful people
do it ?
10.
11. Also ask yourself
questions like:
What I want to be
doing in 5 years
time ?
Am I clear about my
main objective at
work is at this
moment ?
Do I know what I
want to have
achieved by the end
of today ?
13. #1 set goals that motivate you
- Not super easy, not impossible to accomplish
- Know why is that important for you
14. #2 set SMART goals
- Do not say: „To sail around the world“
- Say: „To have completed my trip around
the world by December 31, 2015“
15. - Clear & Well Defined
- Goals that are not clear do not provide sufficient direction
- Precise goals influence behavioral change more effectively
than general “do your best” goals
- Make sure you have how to measure your goals
- Include precise amounts & dates
- Instead of saying: „Find more websites“
„Find new 20 websites by Friday“
16. - Make sure is possible to achive the goal you are setting
- But it does not mean that they should be easy
- Realist + challenging goals are the perfect recipe
- They must require a plan to achieve them
- Why ?
- Is important for my career or professional life
- Deadline
17. #3 WRITE down your goals
- Hand writing make it real
- Write in a positively way
- Use a to do list to achieve
#4 make an ACTION plan
- Again the to do list
- Steps for the outcome
#5 STICK with it
- Maybe you can forget to check it one day
but the next day try again
- Is a ongoing process
- Build reminders
29. Most of us are distracted several times,
if not dozens of times, every day.
It doesn't matter where you work or what you
do, you probably deal with distractions on a
daily basis.
Regaining concentration after a distraction
can take quite a few minutes.
Learning how to minimize distractions can
dramatically increase your productivity and
effectiveness, produce high-quality work, and
achieve much more during the day.
31. Final conclusion:
The only thing we cannot buy is time,
everyone has only 24 hours per day.
Therefore, we need to work smarter on things that have
the highest priority, and then creating a schedule that
reflects our work and personal priorities.
