On a normal day it is likely that your metabolism slows down by about 11 am - So:
- Tip No 1 - at the beginning of the week have one picked big job and four picked small jobs planned for each day. All these picked jobs for a day are to be completed by 11am. (Of course you may have more than 25 jobs to do in every week.) Endeavour to complete the five big jobs by Wednesday.
On some days you will find it difficult to think how to put jobs in priority- So
- Tip No 2 - at the beginning of the week against each job on the list in Tip No 1, put "Do-fast", "Do-next", or "Do-fit-in". The Do-fast are priority one; the Do-next are priority two; and the Do-fit-in are priority three.
Have a period of
smart-time every day:
- when you will only take calls in an emergency (life and death) or from your boss, spouse/partner, and children;
- when your colleagues know not to disturb you;
- your PC, smart phone, etc are off-line; and,
- your telephone is closed.
[Note: your spouse/partner and children will know for what reason they can call you!]
- Tip No 3 - use the smart-time to complete outstanding Do-Fast jobs, to think about and work on policy and/or important operational tasks.
