7 Sure-Fire Time Management Tricks To Get More Done
Do you know why you don't get all the stuff on your to-do list done? Sometimes it's as simple as a having a strategy for time-blocking.The other day my friend LeLe called me up and said, 'Melanie, how the heck do you schedule out your time?' I'm finding that I get so behind with all the emails, phone calls and stuff that needs to get done. Well my first comment is always, 'Get an assistant.' My second question was, 'Are you scheduling time in your calendar for getting those items done?'With the hundreds of entrepreneurs I've coached, the simple fact is in order to get something done, you have to create space to focus on it. Otherwise you will get pulled in 17,000 directions at once and never finish anything.Here are a few of my sure-fire scheduling tips to get more done: 1. Schedule action steps into your calendar. To really get things done on your to-do list, you must have a block of time in your calendar to focus on it. I have a weekly time slot called 'Action Folder' where I focus on project deliverables. 2. Set regular time for 'return phone calls.' One of my clients, a mortgage broker owner, was frustrated when a whole day would go by before he could get to the gold - phone calls. So he created 9 am to 10 am as 'phone call time.' Worked like a charm! 3. Block out weekly 'work on business' times. If you find that months go by before you have had a chance to work on marketing or planning, you need a block of time for it. I recommend Friday afternoons. 4. Leverage your time with 'open call' times. Once a month, members of the ULTIMATE Wealth
