This is how one can do it simply and easily each day - I call it INTEGRATED TIME MANAGEMENT Here's how it works... 1) Log all of your activity and the time you spent on it for one week... list everything - do not try to pad your documentation. 2) Analyze your activity and then group the various task as categories 3) Estimate how much time you spend on that activity on an average per day or week 4) Set up your day by putting those categories into the estimated time slots you believe you'll need to attend to them. 5) During each time slot, do the work or whatever, and when the time is over, stop that category - don't do that activity/category until the next day. It's like having days of the week all laid out for one single day. 6) Schedule your time slots based on your energy levels as well as the prioritizing of low payoff as well as high payoff activities. By creating this "MINI-WEEK" daily schedule, you'll get more done in one day that you would in three days the other way (your way). Be sure you advise your family, clients, friends, etc on how your daily schedule works so that their needs can be accomodated at the appropriate scheduled time for that particular category/activity. i.e., phone work, appointments, research & development, planning-project management, correspondance (i.e. email), personal time, family time, rest and recreation, quiet time, spiritual development, etc., etc. This discipline will also reduce stress, anxiety and the wasting of yours and others time. The benefits also include peace of mind, revitalized energy, getting things done in at least a 1/3 of the time which all results in improved productivity in your personal and business life. Cheers! Hey Mike,

Motivate to intensify is a little known secret to highly effective people.

This is how one can do it simply and easily each day - I call it INTEGRATED
TIME MANAGEMENT

Here’s how it works…

1) Log all of your activity and the time you spent on it for one week…
list everything - do not try to pad your documentation.

2) Analyze your activity and then group the various task as categories

3) Estimate how much time you spend on that activity on an average
per day or week

4) Set up your day by putting those categories into the estimated time
slots you believe you’ll need to attend to them.

5) During each time slot, do the work or whatever, and when the time
is over, stop that category - don’t do that activity/category until the next day. It’s like having days of the week all laid out for one single day.

6) Schedule your time slots based on your energy levels as well as the
prioritizing of low payoff as well as high payoff activities.

By creating this “MINI-WEEK” daily schedule, you’ll get more done in one
day that you would in three days the other way (your way).

Be sure you advise your family, clients, friends, etc on how your daily schedule works so that their needs can be accomodated at the appropriate
scheduled time for that particular category/activity. i.e., phone work, appointments, research & development, planning-project management, correspondance (i.e. email), personal time, family time, rest and recreation, quiet time, spiritual development, etc., etc.

This discipline will also reduce stress, anxiety and the wasting of yours and others time. The benefits also include peace of mind, revitalized energy, getting things done in at least a 1/3 of the time which all results in improved productivity in your personal and business life.

Cheers!

A friend shared with me the Pareto Principle SQUARED. That is, look at the 80/20 rule within the 80/20 rule. Four percent of the work or effort can result in 64% of the accomplishments. This can really focus our work and our results! Blessings, Charlie Michael:
