Having a clear understanding of where your valuable time is spent is priceless. Confusion is usually the state we’re left in, after a busy day. On the flip side, clarity of your goals is the key to align your management of time with your achieving your goals.
The question should always be this: Do you spend enough quality time to move your core goals forward each day? How would you succeed in not only scheduling, but actually spending the needed time to accomplish the items that are most important (and usually not urgent), especially when these are the items that will move you by leaps and bounds into a bright future?
The Harvard Business Review offers us a great article: Align Your Time Management with Your Goals. Read it here: http://bit.ly/SDTimeGoals They included an excerpt from the book “Getting Work Done” which provides a simple process for you to prioritize your work and understand how you’re actually using your time.
Do you have a clear list of your goals?
Do you have a system that will provide you precise information on how you spend your time? The OfficeTime App can be your simple and powerful guide for this.
“Once you have a full list, break it down into broad categories so you can track the amount of time you spend doing tasks in each category”, the author of the article points out. He continues by offering 7 categories to help you get started.
I encourage you to read the article and “get a sense of how you spend your time lines up with the goals you identified.”
Until next time,
Yours truly,
