- Not reaching your goals
- Rushing or late for meetings
- You don't seem to have enough time
- You're always procrastinating
If you're looking for a great book on time management I would recommend Timothy Ferriss' best seller "4 Hour Work Week
."
So what's the best use of your time? First figure out what your goals are then identify the tasks to reach the goals, pick one of the goals, then start doing the tasks. Adjust and repeat.
One problem I have is "too many things to do." I've recently solved this problem with software I call Time-Creator.
One thing Time-Creator does is make it easy to track how you're spending your time. Once you have this information you could look for ways to find better use of it. For example are you spending too much time on emails or non-productive tasks? Time-Creator will show you. The beauty of of Time-Creator is that it makes time tracking as effortless as possible. Is the new guy at work taking too much of your time? How much? Are certain people interrupting you too much? So the first step to better managing your time is to figure out how you're spending it.
I currently have 1,616 tasks to do which would overwhelm most people but only 226 are "A" priority. So to decide what to work on I use Time-Creator to randomly select a task from my "A" list and either re-prioritize it skip it, or work on it. I'll update this with a video soon so you can see how easy it is.
You can go to http://Time-Creator.com to download the latest version. Note that the current version requires Microsoft Excel.
