Time is precious



  “There is never enough time
  unless you’re serving it.”

                   Malcolm Forbes
Using Personal Productivity pearls
which maximize your use of time



    “You delay but time does
     not”.


               Benjamin Franklin
The Overworked American

 Americans work 163 additional hours
 or one month a year more today than
 in 1969.

 The Employee Benefits Research
 Institute tells us that Americans work
 more hours per year than any other
 industrialized nation – putting in an
 avg. of 6.5 weeks longer than the
 French workforce and 8 weeks longer
 than Germany’s.
Can we really manage time?


Nearly half of employees polled
 in a nationwide survey stated
 that time management was
 the #1 source of stress in their
 lives

Time Management vs. Action Management
The Ready State of the Martial Artist

    • Your ability to generate power is
      directly proportional to your ability to
      relax

    • The “Mind like Water Simile”

    • “If your mind is empty, it is always
      ready for anything – it is open to
      everything.” - Shurnyu Suzuki
Dealing Effectively with Internal Committments


      • “There is usually an inverse
        relationship between how much
        something is on your mind and how
        much it’s getting done.”
                        David Allen


      • #1. Using a Master List

      •   Get it out of your head –
Begin to work with the Master List


    • Initial Step: List everything, capture all your
       open loops . . .
     anything you have full or shared responsibility for,
       commitments to yourself and others. do not analyze or
       organize this list just put it all down so you can later
       arrange them into some meaningful fashion. This is
       just a data dump – do not feel compelled to do
       anything about any of this yet

    (ie. Broken needs fixing , Committee minutes to be typed and
        distributed, Performance Appraisal, Travel
        Arrangements, Present s to buy, schedule car for service,
        dental appointment to . . . )
Keep it simple
Realistic Expectations

Creative minds always have more
 ideas than the physical body can
 carry out.

Recognize that fact and spend time
  planning to identify the most crucial
  activities

  Actual vs. Someday/Maybe
Decide upon what to do when stuff shows up
. . . . . not blows up!


       Carpenter’s motto:
        “measure twice . . . saw once”

       Ancient Asian Proverb:
      “the more you sweat in peace
        the less you’ll bleed in war”
Working with the Master List

• Categorization
• Portability
• Review constantly and keep it current
• Organize your reminders – prioritize
• Break down complex projects into
  smaller parts
• Determine next steps
• Delegate and share wherever possible.
Managing the Master List


• Collect it. Create the list.
• Process it. Decide what actions must
  be taken to get each thing done.
• Organize it. System for reminders of
  projects and next action steps
• Review it. Maintain the list, keeping it
  current and complete.
• Do it! Getting it done.
E - Organizing
Make time to declutter and reorganize
Managing Clutter


The average US executive
 wastes one hour per day
 searching for missing
 information in messy desks
 and files according to the Wall
 Street Journal
Decluttering at home



 Getting rid of clutter would eliminate
 40% of housework in the average
 American home (National Soap and
 Detergent Association)
Less is more

“Our lives are frittered away by detail.
 . . . . Simplify, simplify
                  Henry David Thoreau


Fung Shui –
  Literal translation = wind and water.
  The Chinese tradition says the more
  things you own the more problems you
  have in life.
Does anyone really know what time it is?


       A person with one watch
       knows what time it is . . .
       a person with two
       watches is never quite
       sure.
     Lee Segall
Aim for success . . . not perfection


   “Besides the noble art of getting
     things done there is the noble art
     of leaving things undone. The
     wisdom of life consists of the
     elimination of non-essentials”.

   Dr. Lin Yutang

  1. My objective for today is to share with you some “personal productivity pearls”. As with a necklace, a solitary pearl has value but the more pearls you add the more valuable the necklace. Each of you have unique situations – these tips are universally useful to improve your present situation
  2. Harvard Economist Juliet Schor wrote “the overworked american”. She states that we are workaholics by nature.the drug that was designed to reduce the need for sleep
  3. Out of sight – out of mind is really a misnomer. Where do we start to address everything that we have full or partial responsibility for? Any undone “to do” remains on our minds either consciously or subconsciously.
  4. Where do we start to address everything that we have full or partial responsibility for? Any undone “to do” remains on our minds either consciously or subconsciously.
  5. Begin Master list data dump
  6. Second part A vs S,
  7. Not taking this step creates situations where our lives become reactive responsives to crisis rather than clearly directed action choices. Of what you identify as current what is the next action step required to enable you to cross this off your list??If more than one action is necessary identify what the next steps needed to move this project forward
  8. Exercise -
  9. Automation, use of auto bill pay, finding a tech specialist, working with google docs, network with outlook and, electroniic reminders, back up everything
  10. Space Management Have distinct zones for in, out, and working p 152Invest in a labeler – Create a filing system that works easily and consistently. If you and others can file and retrieve things quickly and easily form your current filing system, great. No need to change anything. However if your current system is not working for you or others needing to access your files, I suggest that you create one that does. Control paper piles – the number one reason people pile instead of file is due to fear of not never finding it again once it is filed away. Keep track of important contact information.Gain more space by going up not out - Use wall space to maintain order – shelves, trays, pockets, Focused workspace both at home and workSet aside 15 minutes before going home to put everything away, file papers and review action list.
  11. He who dies with the most toys wins??? Not really Camel / eye of a needle
  12. Not what we typically teach our young children. We say “always do your best” but .. As adults we find that any job or project has a point of diminishing returns. Think of time as return on investment. Will the payoff of this task be worth the effort that you’re putting into it? That is the juncture at which additional time or effort spent is not going to significantly affect or enhance the end result. Beware of trying to complete an action step more perfectly than is necessary to satisfy your boss, client or yourself. A job that is done “too” well is may require the devotion of time that could be better applied somewhere else. Selective perfectionism -- Point of diminishing returnsWhere is it ok to cut corners? What jobs can be just good enough. How many drafts and re-dos are really necessary. Establish your plan – create your blueprint before setting out on a project. If you’re not sure where you’re going your never sure when enough is enough.
  13. Kindergarten model.A considerable impact may be made upon your action management lists by regularly taking small bites.Develop the habit of handling instant tasks (2 minutes or less) as they arise or at the first reasonable opportunity. You’ll gradually make an impact as you continue taking small bites. 6. Downsize your day. Crunch your container Movie supersize me – not what we want. Subsize is more like it. Empty spaces get filled Anticipate activities to take longer than expected. Schedule accordingly.  Give yourself a deadline
