Are You Efficient With Your Time?
Time is the one commodity that every one has in common. We all have 24 hours in a day to get our work done. So, the question becomes, how do we use our time better to achieve the success we want in life?
I read a great idea by Catherine Bower recently. She gave a simple way to analise your priorities. The first thing you need to do is list all your projects for three months. Then devide this list into two categories - one for significant responsabilities and the other for those of little importance.
Rate each item with a score of one to three points. One point for the jobs you complete ahead of time, and two points for the jobs you finish on time. The jobs you are late on get three points.
You then rate the same jobs again, but this time you look at job quality. If the way you handled the job initially was correct then give the job an A. If the approach needed modification, it gets a B. Give the job a C if you missed the mark on it.
Now that you have honestly scored your work performances over the last three months you can look back and see how your priorities have been set. If you prioritize well you should score better on the major projects. However, if you score better on projects of little importance, your spending too much time on inconsequential work.
When working from home and being your own boss you need to be able to see the big picture and prioritize properly. There is a lot of money to be made at home. Again, time is the only thing we all have in common, we must spend it wisely.
