  5. TO-DO LISTS • Shorter is better. • A-B-C priorities. • Stephen Covey’s “Urgent versus Important” quadrants. Not important, not urgent: less than 1%Not important, urgent: 15%Important, urgent: 20-25%Important, not urgent: 65-80%

  8. YOUR PERSONAL TIME • Set aside and enforce daily “quiet time.” • Eat and work, but not at your desk. • Avoid the e-mail lure. • Set boundaries, especially after-hours. (Learn to say “no” and not feel guilty.) • Don’t get too attached to the technology. • Prepare for tomorrow at quitting time.

  9. YOUR TOOLS • Day planner. (Offer a cash reward if you lose it.) • “Idea Nets” – Post-its™, index cards, tape recorder. • Software tools for time management, project planning. • Develop a workable “tickler system.” • Back up your data religiously.

  10. TIME MANAGEMENT BASICS • Handle each piece of paper once. • File it, delegate it, toss it, or act on it. • Be ruthless when reading e-mail. • Set and enforce meeting times. • Schedule a spring cleaning. • Make better use of people, tools, and resources. • Stop saying, “Where does the time go?”

  11. Thanks for your time and attention. Good luck, from Dr. Steve
