I love managing my time. It gives me great joy and pleasure not to mention the added benefit of being able to accomplish a lot more in the time that I have. Every week, or to be precise almost every week of the year I type up a "weekly to do list", which I use to keep myself focused and on task with what is required. Each day I cross of what was completed. Every then and again, I will give myself an "efficiency" rating, which is the percentage of tasks completed. Last week, I finished 29 of 40 "to do's" giving me an efficiency rating of 72.5%. For me that is excellent because I put together very aggressive "to do" lists. I mean my lists are not for the faint of heart.
My weekly lists are most often 40 items of my high priority (and some simple 'must do' actions). Some items alone would take 3 or 4 hours. If my "to do" list contained action items that on average, took an hour or less, then the sum total of the weekly list would represent 40 hours, which would occur as easy peasy, lemon squeezy. Not the case for my lists.
How are you managing your time? What structures, devices, tricks or tools are you using? What works or conversely what is not working? How can I support you in managing your time better and having a powerful life? I'd love to explore that given my deep affinity for time.
Love,
Lisa
