Rescuing Frittered Time
Are you following an agenda for your work or business? But do you often have to give up some of that time for other interruptions that seem to take priority? To find out how much of your business hours you are giving away to family or other causes, keep a coloured marker or pencil near your business calendar and every time you sacrifice a block of time, color it in, and note a few initials to indicate what that time went to.
In a few months you should see a pattern emerging. Maybe your evenings or week ends are showing up as colour blots on each month’s page. If a certain person or situation is regularly interrupting you, it’s time to revise the agenda and create a a regular block to deal with that.
Clear another block of time to catch up on your business work. Otherwise it will get frittered away.
