Getting More Done In Less Time
Here are the Six (6) steps in Getting More Done in Less Time
1. Consider your materials. Don't take shortcuts on the
quality of your materials. Cheap materials or tools are harder to work
with because they aren't as sturdy or nice. Trying to save a few bucks,
but spending an extra hour or two because those cheap things didn't
install properly doesn't make any sense.
2. Evaluate your methods. You want them to be as
efficient as possible. Do your work when you have no distractions
surrounding you. Try to do things in one batches rather than one at a
time. You want your efficiency to be maximized as much as possible.
3. Look for shortcuts. This does NOT mean taking the
easiest method for the sake of it or being lazy. For example, if you
respond to numerous e-mails per day and answer the same questions again
and again, save your responses. When those questions come up, you can
cut and paste your canned response. You might have to make minor edits,
but the bulk of it will already be written.
4. Delegate to the right people at the right times.
Make sure your team is well-ordered. If one person is faster, put him
or her on the part of your task that will take longest. If one person is
more skilled and accurate, put him or her on the part of the task that
is most critical.
