Time Management : Set Priorities to Get the Right Things Done

TIME MANAGEMENT IN THE WORKPLACE

to encouraging your team to adopt positive time-
management skills.

Macro Approach
Create a time-management plan.When you
focus on time management in your depart-
ment, you and your staff begin supporting each
other in a joint effort. Discuss ways to prevent
time wasting in areas of your department that

seem especially ineffi cient. Set up an infor-
mal forum, in which your staff can share their
time-saving tricks. Some people have a natu-
ral sense of how to use time effectively, and
everyone can benefi t from their wisdom. Don’t
forget to offer your own suggestions. Then
draft a time-management plan that allows
everyone to focus on tasks and objectives that
support the company’s goals.

“There’s never time to

do it right, but there’s

always time to do it over

again.”
