Time Leaks? Declutter Your Routine
Time is a non-renewable resource, wherever you are, whatever the time of day. Plan it out and make the most of it.
In the current smartphone age, you are highly accessible and distractible.
It’s an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. Time pressures are multiplying at a dizzying rate.
While there’s nothing that can be done for past time, there are certain things that you can do to create more time, to be more productive.
You can take ownership of your time and do more great work.
Start tracking your time.
Track your daily activities for some time to clearly see where your time is being spent: meetings, phone calls, emails, notifications, small chats, and many other distractions are constantly splitting your attention.
Record ALL your appointments, deadlines, and everything in-between. Analyze the actual time you spend on each activity with what you think is the best amount for each.
Schedule everything. Schedule your days a week in advance. Make a plan and know what’s going on each day. Notice where time leaks, then declutter your routine.
