This is true for most people today.
There is so much information, so many ways people can contact you and your boss wants you to do more with less resources.
Business time management is much more about deciding what gets done than trying to get everything done.
Otherwise your heading or job burnout.
I believe we have moved to a stage in our work lives where it is impossible for most people to get all the tasks done.
Time management at work now requires a different mindset.
This is a mental hurdle for many of our clients.
They hold on to the idea that one day they can "catch-up".
I say, forget It.
Don't even try to catch-up.
Turn your focus to what is critical.
Andrew, was about to go overseas on a business trip.
This trip was longer than most of his trips.
"There is no-one else in this organisation who can run this department.
" He thought to himself.
How was he going to cope? While he was away he had to do his day-to-day work AND all the work for the trip.
He thought to himself, "I'll give it my best shot and clean up the mess when I get back.
" He allowed himself about 2 hours each day to keep the ball rolling back at the office.
A funny thing never happened.
Nothing major fell apart.
Basically he did everything critical in 2 hours a day.
Here's the thing - because he knew he only had about 2 hours, he focused on the MOST important tasks.
And these tasks kept almost everything running.
Business time management is about deciding what to do and what NOT to do (or what to STOP DOING).
How do you do this? Here are two ways to get started.
Ask yourself these questions.
If you could only work 2 hours a day what tasks would you choose to do? If you were going on holidays for a month tonight and you had to leave work at 6pm, what would you spend your time on? The answers to these questions are guidelines as to what has the biggest impact in your role.
Make sure you spend most of your time on these areas.
