1. Set priorities

People are very hard to get to do two things: first, to take up the case in order of importance, and, secondly, to continue to do things in order of importance. Four-time Prime Minister of Great Britain during the second half of the XIX century, William Gladstone said: "The wise man who does not spend a force on the case, which does not fit, but wiser still the one who of the many cases that it is capable of, and resolutely chooses does best. "

Important events in my life (for example, speaking at seminars) painted a year or two ahead. In the last week of every month I spend two hours on planning your schedule for the next month. I make a list of their responsibilities, assess their importance and the estimated time required to carry them out. This allows me to move forward without delay and not to stray from the path. When the task is executed at the scheduled time, I remove it from the monthly plan.

 

2. Record the planned events in the business calendar

When the list is ready, I give him his secretary, Barbara, recording events in my business calendar. This allows me to resist the pressure of multiple foreign affairs, every day demanding my attention and time. In addition, a monthly plan of increasing my responsibility for their implementation, as in the planned activities involved other people.

 

3. Allow time for the unexpected cases

The time envisaged for cases of unexpected or overcome problems depends on the nature of your work. The more your work involves contact with people, the more time should be provided "in reserve". I distinguish the case of unexpected half an hour a week, and this time entered into my business calendar.

 

4. Follow the case on the one

A good general does not lead the battle on several fronts simultaneously. The same can be said about a good leader. If several cases will require your attention, you can feel what is about to drown under them.

Over the years, I use the following guidelines:

■ Make a list of necessary cases.

■ rank them in order of importance.

■ Allow for each case a separate folder.

■ Do all things in order.

 

5. Organize your work space

My work space is divided into two: the administrative and creative. Administrative space - office, where my desktop and my secretary desk, there is a place for meetings with key members of my organization. Here is my plan of hanging for a month, with computers, stored documents folder. My creative space - a secluded room, where there are books and copy machine, kept my manuscript. Access is limited here. In the cabinets that I can safely read, work or just to think.

 

6. Work in accordance with the peculiarities of his personality

If you-"bird", the most important things you need to plan for the morning. Of course, if you are a "night owl" that outlines the important things in the evening. Anyway, do not let the features of your character or way of life have become an excuse for not productive work.

 

7. The time spent on the road, use for light work and personal growth

When I was sixteen and I got a driver's license, my father gave me great advice. He got into the car next to the driver's seat and put in the "glove compartment" book. "Never left the house without a book - he said. - When you're stuck in traffic, you will have something to read. "

In addition to books, I always carry in the car has audio recordings of lectures and a notebook to write down interesting ideas. On the way to and from work I am doing but mobile phone calls. Once behind the wheel, I made twenty-one call, saving many hours of working time. I travel often accompanies one of his colleagues, and we have the opportunity to discuss the work, and at the same time to establish a closer relationship.

According to my estimates, if a good use of time spent on the road, you can get an average of eight additional hours a week for work and personal growth.
