Time management

Time management

I couldn’t help but think about time management after spending several hours last night at a hospital emergency ward.  No one was dying fortunately but to get the tests my wife needed done this was where we had to go.  Everybody was very nice and as we were at a hospital in a low socio economic area we were surrounded by Polynesian staff and patients, (which we love), but it was more like being in Fiji than Auckland in terms of efficiency.

When you are dealing with people it is easy to focus all your energy on being “nice and friendly” as one is dealing with distressed people, however the flip side of that is that by ignoring something as fundamental as time management you end up with a poor quality service and potential risk to patients through delays.

Similarly in our businesses how much money does poor time management cost you?  It’s not about being the Olympic star of your industry, just looking for ways to get a better result out of a day without necessarily even more effort.

For example something as simple as having all my real estate clauses on one page saves me several minutes on every contract I write.  And when you’re doing 20 contracts a week minimum that equals over an hour of time gained to enjoy life each and every week.  Often the simple little things make such a difference.

And the other big trap with time is not to spend it on destructive things.  We have a naturla tendency to gravitate towatrds chaos if we don’t apply time management and personal development skills to our selves. We’re a bit defective that way us humans, until we get to heaven anyway
