Time Management------a different angle

Best Time Management Tips (How to manage mountains of tasks in fistful of time?) * Don't do it! Unless heavens will fall. There is maximum chance that nobody will be tracking it far enough! * Delegate it Don�t do it yourself unless it is disposing of the bomb you assembled! Don't keep the dog and bark yourself! * Put the ball back in the other's court Only the serious task will survive the volley. Encourage self service. It's so easy to just order a task. Answer question with a question! * Don't give it on a platter! Never give a solution better than the problem. * Take hell of a lot time�and demand for more! �and nobody can blame you; you are still doing it!! * Don't touch it before the 11th hour! �chances are it won't be required by that time without any side-effects! �and by delaying, you can check whether the bugger really needed it! �90% of the tasks started are nothing more than noise, dust and tranquiliser pills to cover up �� for real thinking. * Start it with a lot of advertisement big-bang and park it silently behind the first bend! Majority of the times, all the task-giver wants is to see action-initiation. That's all! * Manage the expectations of the task-giver Put water on it! * Drag in the task-giver He will forget about it! (That's what he wanted when he gave it to you!!) * Postpone it Useless tasks are balls which come back to remind you automatically! All this is to separate the necessary from the unnecessary. Task generation has become the favourite passtime of the planet. As Philip says in his masterpiece book 'Life Strategies' - "Do what works, do what matters!!!" Only the task which matters should be done. Every other task is an overhead! Reduce your stress, live longer, get promoted!
