One skill that is prevalent in all leaders of repute is
time management. People who use these techniques routinely
are the highest achievers in all walks of life, from business
to sport to public service. Managing time well
enables you to be in control of your life; it allows you to act
on situations rather than react to situations. When reacting to
situations you are ill-prepared and under stress so your action
is far from your optimum capacity. Whereas, when you act on situations
it is well planned and thus allows you to function at your highest.
At the heart of time management is an important
shift in focus: Concentrate on results, not on being busy. This
is a one of the most important time management skills.
Many people spend their days in a frenzy of activity, but achieve
very little because they are not concentrating on the right things.
According to the Pareto Principle, or the ‘80:20 Rule’,
typically 80% of unfocussed effort generates only 20% of results.
The remaining 80% of results are achieved with only 20% of the
effort.
By applying the skills taught in the Time Management Workshops,
you can optimize your efforts to ensure that you concentrate as
much of your time and energy as possible on the high payoff tasks.
This ensures that you achieve the greatest benefit possible with
the limited amount of time available to you.
Contrary to popular belief, effective time management
is not based on doing more things in less time. “Time
Management” is about doing the right things and
doing them better.
