Facilitated by: Ashak Hossan
2. “To comprehend a man’s life, it is necessary to know
not merely what he does but also what he purposely
leaves undone. There is a limit to the work that can be
got out of a human body or a human brain, and he is a
wise man who wastes no energy on pursuits for which
he is not fitted; and he is till wiser who, from among
the things that he can do well, chooses and resolutely
follows the best.”
-John Hall Gladstone

11. We need a compass instead of a clock:
• Important & Urgent -> Do them now the best you
can
• Important & Not Urgent -> Set focus here, whenever
you can (The Zone)
• Not Important & Urgent -> Say “No” because you
have a quality “Yes”, or delegate them
• Not Important & Not Urgent -> Avoid these for sure
12. How can we really use this now?
• Set your Life-Areas for Balance
• Clarify your values & Set your goals
• Use a productivity system that fits you , such
as Getting things done (GTD)
13. Taking Charge of
Time Management
Solutions:
Plan your time at least once a week with a calendar in
hand.
List all the tasks that have to be done, noting any deadlines.
Set priorities.
Schedule everything you can, including time needed to deal
with those pesky emails.
Prepare for the unexpected. Because you identify your
priorities, you know what work can be moved to another
day if you have to replace a sick colleague at an interview.
If appropriate, delegate work to staff, including admin
support staff.
14. You still have to find a way to resolve all the
interruptions during the day. You will never eliminate
all of them, but try to prevent as many as possible.
Then, it is easier to deal with the ones that happen.
• Spread the word that you are now more organized so it is
easier to tell coworkers that you do not have time for chitchat, but you will spend coffee break with them.
• If you are working on a priority task, say so and offer a time
to meet later in the day or week.
• Schedule a time to work through emails. Learn to delete or
quickly file ones that are not directly relevant to your work.
15. LITTLE THINGS
By Julia A. F. Carney (1823 - 1908)
Little drops of Water
And Little Grains of Sand
Make the mighty Ocean
And the Pleasant land
So the little Minutes
Humble thought they be
Make the mighty Ages
Of Eternity
This is the Time
This is the Place
This is your Life
This is your Opportunity
Seize the Day
Use this Moment
ACT NOW
16. “Many people seem to think that success in one area
can compensate for failure in other areas. But can it
really? True effectiveness requires balance.”
-Stephen Covey
