9. Time Management Quadrants

10. Examples
Quadrant 1
Putting out a fire in your living room, meet the deadline
to pay taxes, fix a broken pipe in your kitchen, house chores,
attending to your crying infant, etc.
Quadrant 2
Save money, continue studying for another degree,
starting a family, exercising, home maintenance plan,
read, write, meditate, make time to spend with friends, etc.
Quadrant 3
A friend who asks for your help to fix their computer
(important to them, less so to you), answering a phone call,
someone that shows up (unplanned) and requests you assist them with something, booking a flight,
etc.
Quadrant 4
Watching TV, go on a shopping spree (ha! online shopping counts, too!), facebook's infinite scroll
(or twitter's, or tumblr's, or just the webz in general),etc.

11. Playing in 4 Quadrants

12. Manage your workplace
• De-clutter your desk by clearing it at the end of each working day
• File documents once they have been used
• Purge files regularly
• Organize a work flow system in your space
• Create Structured Folder & Clean up desktop on regular intervals

13. Managing Interruptions
•Come up with a game plan
Share your calendar with others
Use friendly, but direct reminders.
•When possible, go to another location (Meeting Rooms)
•When interrupted, state right away you only have x-minutes.
•Turn off all notification sounds for e-mail and social media.
•If you use MS Outlook, program it to open to your Calendar/Task view vs. your E-mail Inbox.
•During meetings, Follow an agenda with a timer & use MoM to summarize and delegate
•Signal to others when you don’t want to be interrupted & let others know that you prefer not to
be interrupted during specific times.
•Keep your cell phone off Internet off during working hours.

14. Meetings
 Only attend the meeting which is mandatory
 Always start the meeting on time, regardless of people who are late;
 Do not review the contents of the meeting with the people who are late for the part
they missed;
 Reduce the length of meetings to one hour maximum, and preferably less—try 30
minutes, even try 15 or 10 minutes;
 End the meeting on the agreed-upon time, even if the agenda is not finished;
 Invite fewer people to the meeting—productivity goes down with increasing
numbers of participants;
 Allow the right for employees to decline their attendance, without having to justify
themselves and without penalties;
 Reward those people who show up on time and even early with some kind of small
gift or reward;
 Don’t allow individuals to hijack or dominate meetings by frequent and endless
conversation. It’s the responsibility of the meeting leader to control this;
 End meetings early. People will be more positive about participating as a result;
