In my thirty years as a Time Management speaker, I have observed a lot of what we can and should not do to increase our daily results. 36. ____________________ In fact, a lot of our Time Management has to do more with what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace.
37. ____________________ We all should avoid them to help us increase our daily success, in less time and with less stress.
1. Start your day without a plan of action. Without a plan, you will have worked hard but may not have done enough of right things. Time Management is not doing the wrong things quicker. 38. ____________________ Time Management is doing the right things.
2. Work with a messy desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day looking for things. 39. ____________________ If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, you will find that person is working with a clean desk environment.
3. Don’t take a lunch break. Many do not take a lunch break, working through that time period in the hope that it will give them more time to produce results. Studies have shown it may work just the opposite. 40. ____________________ So a lunch break, even a short fifteen-minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again.
A. Here are some Time Management mistakes we often make
B. In fact, after doing what we do for several hours, we start to feel tired and bored out.
C. Time management is not necessarily working harder, but rather smarter.
D. That’s seven and a half hours per week.
E. However, many people don’t think so.
F. They feel happy that they have finished so much work.
G. That just gets us nowhere faster.
