It recommends taking 30 minutes to plan the next day, prioritizing important tasks, setting time estimates, doing small tasks immediately, focusing on one task at a time to avoid multitasking, blocking out distraction-free time, connecting related tasks to save time, saying no to additional work if it interferes with goals, reserving 40% of time for unexpected tasks using the 60/40 rule, standardizing recurring tasks, and working at CoWorks for a smarter workspace.

1. SMARTWORKING
SAVING TIME

2. Plan your day
Take 30 minutes time
in the evening to plan
the next day. Do not
start your day without
a time plan.

3. Prioritise your tasks
Prioritising your tasks will
help you to spend your
time and energy on tasks
that are really important
for you. Do not waste
your day with timeconsuming but relatively
unimportant tasks.

4. Set time limits
Include an estimated
time frame for each
action point and the
date by which the task
must be completed.

5. Do small tasks right now
Do small tasks that do
not need more "
than 10 minutes. "
Do these immediately.

6. Single-tasking
The human brain is not
able to concentrate on
two different tasks at the
same time. So just
concentrate on one task
and after finishing one
move on to another.

7. Limit distractions
There are a lot of
disturbing distractions at
work. So block out time on
your calendar to work on
big projects. At that time
close your door and turn
off your phone and e-mail.

8. Connecting tasks
You can connect
different tasks to save
time. You can connect
for example the way to
the supermarket and the
way to the post office.

9. Just say no
Focus on your tasks and your
goals before agreeing to take
on additional work. Otherwise
you will be cluttered with
tasks and your time will be
stolen. Moreover you
communicate with a “No”,
that you are concentrating on
your current project.

10. 60/40 Rule
The 60/ 40 rule means
that you just plan 60
percent of your available
time. The other 40
percent is reserved for
unexpected tasks. This will
give you some spare time.

11. Standardise
Determine a
standardised process
for recurring tasks. This
will help you to save a
lot of valuable time.
