Time Saving Tips For Busy Professionals Like YOU!

Here are some very SIMPLE ways to save a ton of time every day:

Time saving tip #1:  Delegate more!

Prioritize your work A, B, C with A’s being the MUST be done activities…those you were HIRED to do. B’s are the SHOULD be dones, like the stuff that keeps us legal or allows us to get/keep our ISO 9000 certification. C’s are the NICE to be dones. Once you have done this, delegate most of your Bs and almost all your Cs to someone who is capable of doing them. What if you only were able to offload an additional 29% of your work, would it be worth doing? Sure!!! 29% solution.

Time saving tip #2: Toss stuff!

’I might need this someday.’  NO WAY! Toss it out. 85% of what is in file cabinets will never be referenced again. Toss it out. If you can find it on someone else’s database. Toss it out. If you can get it with a phone call. Toss it out. If you can locate it on the Internet, toss it out!

Time saving tip #3:  Be more productive!

No busy. Every idiot who works anywhere thinks he/she is ‘busy’. They move aimlessly from task to task; exhausted by the end of their work day. NEVER confuse busy with productive. Productive means you spend 80 to 90% of your time on you’re A’s priority tasks. Is that how you spend YOUR day? If not, stop being busy and get productive.

Say NO to C and low B tasks until every A is completed.
Start living life with PURPOSE and towards your ultimate goals in life.
Live life with PASSION to be your best.

These 3 things may seem simplistic, but the simple things in life are usually the truths of life. Love your family. Live your life. Praise your God. Be content while striving to be better. These are simple things. Difficult to attain but within everyone’s grasp. Within YOUR grasp. Go for it!

Time is LIFE! These amazing words by Dr. Alan Lakein, author of “How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life” instruct us to change everything we are doing. If Time is LIFE, wasting time is wasting our very lives. Spending it on ‘junk food’ when a wholesome buffet of opportunity is before us seems tragic at best. Here are 3 Action Steps to get more out of your life:

Stop giving your life away to people who do not deserve it. Say “NO” to anything or anyone with requests not aligned with your priorities. This will not make you popular with some people but will greatly improve your quality of life.

Start every day with a detailed To-Do List to ensure your time is not wasted. Otherwise, every text message, email, phone call or interruption becomes your ‘priority’; taking away time and life.

Plan time for planning. No captain of a ship or airplane sets sail or flies without a clear destination in mind and a map of the most efficient route to take. Putting a few minutes into your day to plan your next day can transform your life from hectic and hellish to one that satisfies and soars.

Life is nothing more than time. Throw away your time and you throw away your ….
