In the business world, time management skills can make or break you. By utilizing methods and techniques that are certain to increase output, you are ensuring your success in your place of employment. Effective time management energizes and streamlines your workload in a manner that will enhance your quality of life by minimizing unnecessary stress as well as increase your likelihood of receiving a promotion. Charles Perrin Tulsa, founder of Rockford Energy Partners, recommends using the following time management techniques to maximize your productivity.
1. Put up a “Do Not Disturb” sign now and then if you need to. Sometimes, it’s necessary to knock out a project or assignment by completely disconnecting and staying intently focused. Most communication can wait until later. Don’t pick up the phone unless you have to.
2. Unless you specifically work in the social media field, disconnect all forms of social media in the workplace, as these websites can be a horrid distraction that will cause you to waste far more of your time than you realize. Save that for after work.
3. Take the time to frame your communications and tasks. What do you want to achieve from this phone call? What is your main goal for this task or project? Take time beforehand and afterward to assess how successful you were in your goals.
4. Audit your time frequently and decide if you’re using your time well. If you’re spending too much time in one area of your work life while you’re stressed and struggling in another, create an action plan to redistribute your time in a way that will ensure your success.
