I don't know about you, but I am very fond of using time management in business. My day usually look like this from a time management stand point (since yesterday):
2 hours 30 minutes - email (not more than this).
10 minutes - reading online business news.
1 hour - reading a book.
10 minutes - talk on the telephone (this requires dicipline I gotta tell you).
30 minutes - write messages on forums and also reading forum threads (a way of keeping up with other peoples ideas).
This is a typical working day for me right now. I use, as you can see if you calulate the time used above, 3 hours 21 minutes for work each day. This may seem extreme, but believe me you can get many things done in 3 hours and 21 minutes if you know how to do what really matters. Most of the working day contains pure air normally. Non productive time. Time used for chatting with co-workers etc.
In order to do this you need to become more creative and focused when you are working. This makes it possible for you to really relax the other hours of the day. For example, be with your family and use it for quality time. Resting etc. It is very important to separate work from free time of. And it is equally important to separate non-productive time and productive time.
My working day usually start at 09.00 and ends 3 hours and 21 minutes later. As you may have seen, this is a new system for me (see my late forum messages from before and you will notice). I have used it 1 day of my life and it works very well. I started it yesterday and I did more in one day than I have done for several weeks. Seriously.
Anyone else adopting such time management practices on this forum?
