What’s in it for me? Save time to get ahead.

Are you drowning in a sea of paperwork, never-ending emails, and time-consuming meetings? Is work so hectic and overwhelming that you feel you can never get enough done?

Well, fear not!

This Blink will help you develop a key skill that’s imperative to navigating the modern workplace: the art of time management. Here, you’ll find the tools and techniques you need to be efficient, effective, and focused on what truly matters – no matter your line of work.

So let’s not waste any more time. Jump in, and get ready to unlock your true productivity potential.

Time-saving foundations

If you work in a modern office, you’ll agree that time is precious – and that there never seems to be enough of it.

But ask yourself this: How much time do you actually spend working, and how much time do you spend figuring out what to work on, searching for documents, writing repetitive emails, and so on?

Actually, don’t just ask yourself this. Keep a time log for a week. Record every task you do throughout the day and sort them into plannable time, reactive time, and wasted time. Plannable time is the time you take for your actual work. Reactive time is the time you spend responding to people, fixing tech problems, and putting out other fires. Wasted time is, well, wasted time.

You’ll be shocked how much of your week the latter two take up.

But with the right strategies, this can change.

Time management is an indispensable skill for anyone looking to get ahead in the workplace. Since time management is essentially self-management, what works best for you will depend on your unique situation. But there are a few foundational elements of good time management that apply across the board.

The first element is planning. Before you do anything, figure out how to do it best. The golden rule here is that the time you invest in understanding and organizing a task is time you’ll save doubly when executing it.

You may have heard the acronym “SMART objectives”. Setting SMART objectives means setting objectives that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timed. Such clear-cut goals provide clarity and direction.

The second element of good time-management is proper implementation. The most important strategy here is to break your big tasks into smaller, more manageable subtasks. If you’ve set SMART objectives, this should be relatively easy. Breaking up tasks also allows for easier progress tracking.

Which brings us to the third element: monitoring. Regularly evaluating your results and methods will help you stay on track in the long-term.

The fourth and final element revolves around communication. Clear briefing and efficient reporting can minimize costly misunderstandings and unnecessary back-and-forth with your colleagues.

So, now that you have an overview of the elements of good time management, let’s get into the nitty-gritty.

Organizing with the LEAD system

When it comes to time management, organization is everything.

A lack of organization means time is wasted, efforts are duplicated, deadlines are missed, and results suffer. So how can we get organized and stay that way?

Minimizing time-wasters

Picture this: You're engrossed in an important task, making progress, when suddenly your phone rings. It’s your boss, so you pick up. When you do, you realize she’s only calling to get your input on where to go for lunch. Yet somehow, the call still takes ten minutes and completely derails your workflow.

This is something everyone can agree on: the only things more frustrating than interruptions are unnecessary interruptions. And whether they mean to be or not, the cause of both is almost always people.

Deciding on priorities

Have you ever noticed that a small percentage of your efforts produces the majority of your results? That's the essence of the 80/20 rule established by Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist. Pareto asserted that roughly 20 percent of causes lead to 80 percent of effects.

Make the right 20 percent of tasks your priority at work, and your productivity should skyrocket.

Working well with others

Let’s return to the topic of people – your greatest asset and your biggest time drain.

From friendly chit-chat to lengthy business lunches, social interactions can either enhance productivity in the workplace or derail everyone’s focus.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
