- Ways to organize yourself & your work
Self-Management:- Self Management is the key to balance
- To control your life, you must control your time
- Everyone has 24 hours in a day (1440 minutes)
- You cannot save time, You can only spend it or invest it
Changing Old Habits:
- If you want things to be different, perhaps the answer is to become different yourself
- Changing old habits take time, effort & focused attention
- Your existing habits were not developed overnight, so you can’t change these habits in a day.
- It takes 21 to 30 days of consistent, spaced repetition of an activity to eliminate an old habit or develop a new one.
Self Management Solutions:High achievers have high energy levels and are highly motivated.
All improvement can be traced to the enhancement of one or more of the following areas:
1. Clearly defines goals
Where are you going? Why did you show up for work today?
Does your company have a mission statement and do you know it by heart?
2. Establishing & Communicating Priorities
The best daily action list is useless & ineffective if the most importance of each item on the list is not established. So, it’s easy to fall into trap of getting many thing completed, but doing the wrong things. People always do the easy things first, instead of the most important.
3. Daily Action Plan
Starting your day without a plan of action can result in spending all day doing the wrong things
It invites others to interrupt you with their requests and assignments and you will have no good reason to say NO!
4. Focus on Finishing, not Perfection
Are you unable to complete a project until it is done perfectly or still see ways for something to be done better
Or do you feel that you have overlooked something?
5. Paper Control & Workspace Organization
No matter how well organized your priorities are…. or how effective your daily plan is….
…..you may be losing valuable time searching for things that you are lost in the mess of your desk, in your files, drawers & cabinets…..
*Tips for a Fast Start:Make a master list that you have to do:
- project list : all ongoing
- next action list : itemizes all the next steps to be taken on projects
- waiting list : records all items that must come from someone else
- Someday/Maybe list : things that are not urgent, can be done later
6. Identify your peak productivity time and protect it from interruptions....
7. Realign your stress level…..
Remember…..
Small Changes, Over Time, Make a BIG Different….
Goal Setting
Some people and books tell you that it’s easy to set and achieve goals
Don’t believe it…because…
Setting goals is a struggle, but without the struggle, you will never develop the strength and resolve to achieve the targets you set.
3 Must for Goal Achievement
- Commit your goals to paper:-writing your goals helps you to identify them clearly. Without writing your goals down, the possibility of achievement drops to nearly zero.
- Strive for progress not perfection :-When you set your goals too high, the chance of success disappears. Learns from Kaizen, which means that every day, the objective of each worker is to do his/her job a little better than yesterday
- Develop strong interpersonal relationships:- It is seldom possible to achieve goals without the involvement of other people
Planning for Success
Why Plan?
A plan is like a map. When following a plan, you can always see how much you have progressed towards your project goal and how far you are from your destination.
Knowing where you are is essential for making good decisions on where to go or what to do next.
Planning is one of the most important project management and time management techniques.
Planning is preparing a sequence of action steps to achieve your goals.
Consider this…..
Success has little to do with luck. It has to do with planning….&
Planning actually gives you more time…
think about it.....true right?????
