Time for Work

Planning is an art, and often you don’t achieve what you set out to do. Are you an optimist when it comes to estimating the time something will take, or do you spend too much time on unimportant things (postponement behaviour) – and do you get that feeling that you haven’t achieved anything yet again? Time for a different approach – and a good basis. You will work with much greater pleasure if you have a clear overview of what you have to do. There are three key questions:

  • What has to be done?
  • How long does it take?
  • How much time do you want to spend?

If this is clear, then you can make choices, set priorities, and make plans. In manageable chunks. And in a way that fits you and your work. A clear overview and structure in your work, completing what you had planned to do, free time in your diary, and manageable deadlines … it is all possible!

how to do it

Can you do this on your own? Yes, certainly, but you run the risk that you will not spend enough time on it. Or you will revert to the old way of doing things. Treat yourself (or your firm) to my practical coaching – to make work of your time. You will get a task before we start, homework between appointments, and a checklist with the most important tips or things that we have agreed. Learn how to get down to the important issues – who doesn’t want that! And I have made so many people happy with this.

Do you want to do something on your own? Here are some handy time-tips for your work.
