Time Management - My Weakness January 11, 2007
Posted by Dan Stuchbury in : Business In General , trackbackOne of my biggest weaknesses is time management. I find myself getting side-tracked easily, and then end up running out of time to do the things I should be doing. I pledged to start resolving this by using OneNote to create a to-do list for each week, and aim to have everything ticked-off by the end of the week. This is working reasonably well, but I think I need to print this list and stick it to my wall above my desk, therefore providing an always-on visual reminder. The downside to this is it moves in the opposite direction to my move towards an ‘as-paperless-as-possible’ office - some things just have to be on paper, original signed client contracts & sign-off forms, for example, need to be kept in the relevant file, and people will insist on sending invoices through the post.
I’ve not used a project management system for managing & scheduling client projects before, but I was thinking the other day that this could be a really effective solution. I even had a conversation with someone this afternoon about his requirement for a project management system, so this could be the next step in improving my time management, and helping others do the same.
