“Anything that is wasted effort represents wasted time. The best management of our time then becomes inseparably linked with the best utilization of our efforts.” Ted W. Engstom
We all have the same 24 hours in each day.
We can either use our time wisely or squander it away. Once the day is gone, it will never return. As the old saying goes, “The days can feel long, but the years are all too short.” Effective managers discipline themselves to use their time well. Those who don’t will likely be replaced by those who can.
We like to talk about investing our time wisely rather than simply spending it. Like any good investment, managing time requires research and a commitment to choose wisely. The research begins by looking at those areas where we spend time without receiving tangible rewards. Those who invest their time wisely are not inclined to let either time or money slip through their fingers.
The first step in eliminating time wasters is to identify them.
