Time Management is Myth !

Essentialism is the Key

Get Right Things Done !!.. NOT more things done..

Right things are .. Things that are inline with your growth .. Things that are “Actually” required/expected from you in your role ..

Time and Energy is is constant for everyone. With success, more people will want to partner with you, thus seeking your time & energy. It very important to have Wise Investment of Your Time & Energy. Its pernicious to say “Yes” to each and everything that comes your way. If you dont choose how to spend your time & energy, others will choose for you.

To be able to make that decision about where to invest your time and energy, one “Must Find Time” to think what is required/right thing to be done & what must be skipped

Plan out your work and Work out your plan!

Toolkits that help Manage Focus

1. Eisenhower Decission Matrix

• Categories your tasks as below matrix.
• Attempt to reduce task list as low as possible in “DO” quardrant .. Should not be more than 3 or should not take more than 20% of your work day.
• 40% of your work day should be spent on “scheduled” tasks.. Tasks that were scheduled as in “Decide” quardrant.
• Not more 5% of your work day should be spent on “delegated” tasks .. Those in “Delegated” quardrant.
• Offcouse .. 0% on Deleted tasks
• Rest of your work day – well – there will be meetings, plannings, research that you would have to do..

2. Pareto 80-20 Rule

There might still be days, where one feels overwhelmed.. At those instances, follow Pareto 80-20 rule.. which states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes .. And its not a very random rule.. it has been observed by researchers with quite a detailed study and is widely accepted law. I persoanlly have experienced it almost everywhere I have been conscious to take a note of it.

Applying the same, identify tasks that needs only 20% ( or less ) of your effort/time/energy and yet the result would be higher ..
