3-Tips for Taking
Back Your Time
Samantha Pointer-Foxx, Technology Coach & Professional Organizer
TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE
Things That Hinder Our Time
 Phone calls
 Text messages
 Emails
 Social Media
 Not having a plan or schedule
The Consequence of Giving In To Time
Wasters
 Loss of momentum
 Lost time
 Procrastination
THE SOLUTION
1. Remember… It Can Wait
 Most people can get away with checking their
personal email once a day.
 Texting is the same way.
 These types of distractions are seldom critical; if
someone's message does happen to be critical,
they'll find a way to get through to you.
2. Schedule It!
 Set aside a specific time to check on all of those
little distractions. Perhaps you might choose to
only deal with email at the end of the workday or
only check texts for 10 minutes during your breaks
when you leave the office.
3. Inform People
 If everyone knows that you only look at email
between 4:45pm and 5:00pm, they'll call you if
they need to communicate something really
important. If it's not really important, they might
not send the email at all.
Recap
 We all have little things that wastes our time. Some of those can be
challenging to ignore. Acknowledge the amount of time it costs you
each year - time that you can never get back - time that could be
more effectively utilized.
 Most things can wait. Consider how often you really need to check
these distractions and make a schedule for them. By informing the
appropriate people of your plan, you can be sure they'll adapt and
nothing critical will be missed.
 Take back control of your time!

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Time is on of the most valuable commodities we have. It’s also the thing that is equal for everyone. Everyone gets 24 hours a day, even the super rich. That’s why it’s critical to limit the amount of time we waste on trivial tasks and take back our time to make room for what’s important.
  2. But even when we commit to limiting time wasters and taking back our time, things seem to pop up that can throw us off track.
  3. When you stop what you are doing to check a email or text or to take a phone call, you get off track and it’s hard to get back into the swing of things. You lose your train of thought especially if you were flowing with a project or tasks. Now you have to regroup and get back into the mindset that you were in before you were interrupted. Misplacing items, forgetting where you were in a document or step are all consequences.
  4. * Whatever distraction pops up on a regular basis, set aside some time each day to address it. To maximize your efficiency, all you have to do is stick to the schedule.
  5. This might even mean less work for you. * Additionally, you'll find that people won't bother you with text messages during the day if they know you're not going to answer them anytime soon. With less stuff to distract you, you'll be able to better focus on your work.
  6. Remember you have to teach people how to treat you.
