How to do more with less
By tehconi | July 27, 2007
Do you catch yourself saying “I’m busy” often ?
I do. Sometimes, I set targets at the beginning of the day on what I want to accomplish for the day. However, as I get through the day, I find my attention distracted by numerous things unrelated to my targets.
An afternoon on a precious weekend can get burnt away quickly just by sitting in front of the computer, surfing mindlessly site after site. The visual stimulation of the internet world is easy to make one think that he has done much intellectual activity. But at the end of the afternoon, what has he gained, truly ?
On one of these afternoons, I came across this article by Willie Crawford on how he manages to get it all done. I think they are good tips, especially these ones which I find pretty useful.
5) Specific times for most routine tasks
6) Set time limits for many tasks.
9) Only “touch” each email once… if possible. When you open
an email, decide right then and there what needs to be done
with it and take care of it.10) Learn to say no…
11) See each project through to completion before starting
the next… Pick a project to focus on, and then work on ONLY that project
for an allocated amount of time, or until completion.14) Finally, know the value of your time. Perhaps the simplest
way to “value” your time is to set an income goal for yourself.
Ultimately, good mental discipline and self-control are the keys to personal effectiveness.
