What are some of the pitfalls you come under when it comes to time management. Feeling over loaded or  too busy?

Business Coach Sam Harrop talks about a default diary……

• What is your most effective time of day and what are you blocking out of your days to use this time for
• The open door policy and the importance of having some time each day which is “closed door”
• Setting up a routine to speak with your direct reports at certain time each day instead of scatter gun talking to them all day
• The importance of have a lunch break
• Setting personal goals of what you want to achieve and celebrating what you have completed
• Carving out small chunks of time to get big projects completed over time

How your personality style will influence your time management

1. Analytical think it, plan it (can take too long and not want to make a wrong decision)
2. Expressive will want to talk about it
3. Amiable will not want to make decisions for others, prefer a team approach
4. Drivers will get things done that they see as important (potentially ignoring other stuff)
