3 Proven Ways to Save Time

 

1. Examine the usual daily interruptions. See how many you can eliminate immediately, screen out or delegate. Set aside a specific time for phoning people on your prospect list, making presentations, keeping up with the detail part of the job, attending training meetings, reading and sending emails, and phone calls.
These designated time blocks might not always work—emergencies occur, demanding flexibility in scheduling. But when you have a plan for organizing and investing your time, an extra hour each day will be available.

2. Analyze your energy cycle. Determine when you tend to be at your best physically and mentally. Schedule challenging tasks during those times of peak performance, and you will accomplish more in less time.
If you have more energy in the morning hours than the afternoon ones, plan your work around your morning coffee. If you’re a night owl, dedicate your evenings to knocking out important tasks.

3. Think about time the way you think about money. The more wisely you invest time—just like money—the greater the yield. Before you invest time in a given activity, ask yourself, “Is there something more profitable that I could be doing?”
And remember, making face-to-face contacts and presentations will always be the most profitable thing you can do…. Add that to your schedule.
With these strategies, you can make the most of your life by making the most of every minute, every hour and every day.
