It's amazing how much time we WASTE during the day. You would think that we are constantly moving towards our goals with sharp razor focus. The reality is that we waste time without even knowing we are doing so. The other thing is that we do some things that we might normally consider time wasters, but they have a place in our schedule.
In my earlier posts, I suggest that you budget your time and compare actuals to budget. I also suggest that you add a time grouping of Distractions .... So as you are tracking your actuals, you keep an eye out for times that you are not focused on your task at hand but are working on things that you should not be, atleast not at this time. In order to do this successfully you have to be very honest with yourself. Otherwise you will be doing the same thing as creating tasks and just moving the task to the next day. It never get's done but it is on your list. Be honest with what you are doing.
The second area is budget review. After you have entered your actuals, look at how much time you were distracted by other tasks and or activities that were not even on your budget. Re-assess if this time group or duration of your time groupiong is adequate, and adjust your budget accordingly.
As always, review , Review, review!
That's it for today... Happy time Management.
