How to Create More TimeYou need more time, and who doesn't these days? Believe it or not, you have the means to create more time. Here are the secrets to creating more time, at least at work: 1. Spend more time. Dedicate more time to the task. Even in small increments, it adds up. The only problem Is, it is an interim solution. This approach is not sustainable over a long time. It is difficult for people to work 12 hour days or more forever. For example, accountants put in extra time during month-end or quarter-end or year-end. They can sustain it for a while, not for the whole year. 2. Simplify the work. When there is a lot to do, and employees already spend more time on the job, you can start looking for ways to simplify the tasks. Prioritize; break it down into smaller tasks. Segregate the work according to what must be done vs. what should be done vs. what is a nice to do . Eliminate the unnecessary. This step almost always ends up with improvements. 3. If you still need to have more of that precious commodity, time, go into the "delegation" mode. Analyze what to do and why, who can do this now without training, and who can be trained to do this. If you would like to get a tool to help you with this analysis, just send me a note.:. It's free. 4. Finally, delegate. Delegate to yourself, and to others.
