Five Extra Weeks of Time Per Year By Karla Brandau
Could you use five extra weeks per year to move your business forward and finish your to-do list? That is entirely possible if you sign up for the time and technology program, It’s Time For Results, hosted right here at On The Ribbon. It’s Time For Results is a program that infuses time management techniques into Microsoft Outlook. One manager who recently went through the program said that just one technique he learned would save him four hours a week. That is 208 hours in a year or five weeks of time every year.
Most people use Microsoft Outlook merely for e-mail and an occasional meeting or appointment. To find five extra weeks of time per year, this manager tapped into the power of Tasks and the prioritizing principles I teach. Outlook Tasks permit you to configure several views including a master task view, a completed tasks view, and a daily task view, enabling you to customize your tasks for your personality and your workload and effectively giving you more time every day.
Some individuals try to work from a running list of tasks. I would recommend keeping a master task list and then from that list, make a daily task list comprised of exactly what you think you can get done today…given of course all of the interruptions and “Please, I need this now” tasks that are thrown at you.
