Time planning: A way to perform more at work and extend life.
These ideas are not intended to pose "a schematic" in the life of the leader, but a series of recommendations to be more effective in the use of his time. This would allow you to:
- Have more time to live, using it better. Work "what is necessary". Have free time, leisure and improvement "save" your own time and that of others.
Starting point in time planning
- List the work activities that you like to do the most (10). The least (10). Establish an order of priorities.
Start your day with what you like least since it is assumed that at that moment you have more energy to concentrate and face the "challenges" of your work. At the end of your day you will have the "self motivation" to do what you like to do..Require others to organize.
Organize your day
Try to plan your day for a week considering:
- Set your own agenda… Strive to meet it according to your goals. Although your bosses “organize” your work, it is always possible to predict when they will. They also have customs. INCLUDE THEM IN YOUR AGENDA. Prevent subordinates or external elements from imposing your agenda on you.
Questions to answer before organizing your agenda.
- Where am I within the organization? What changes do you want to make in your work? With what labor and material resources do you have to make these changes? Who can I lean on? How to motivate the rest of the group in what I believe we should do? What does each one do? What motivates them? What guidelines must I meet and give so that the goals set are met?
What to do with subordinates?
- Demand proposals for solutions and not the sending of problems, motivate them to fulfill the goals set, guide them in the fulfillment of their objectives, give them confidence and certainty in the success of the organization, commit them to their objectives, reward and punish them for the results obtained.. Attend them in overtime hours. They will be more effective in solving problems.
What to do with the foreign elements to the organization?
- Set up a "hearing day" and make the rest of the managers do it too. Quote those who want to see you after 4pm, your demand will decrease. Believe the culture that the important thing is to solve the problem and not who does it. An assistant who is in charge of these matters and proposes solutions to the external demands of the organization. Clarify the rules and powers of the different levels of the organization.
