7. Why do we need
time management?
• Time is limited
• You can accomplish more with less effort
• Improved decision making ability
• Reduce stress
• Free time is necessary
8. Know the difference
• Important activities have an outcome that leads to
us achieving our goals, whether these are
professional or personal.
• Urgent activities demand immediate attention, and
are usually associated with achieving someone else's
goals. They are often the ones we concentrate on
and they demand attention because the
consequences of not dealing with them are
immediate.
10. So..
• Answering the phone is urgent. If you don’t do it, the caller will
ring off, and you won’t know why they called. It may, however, be
an automated voice telling you something not important at all.
• Going to the dentist regularly is important (or so we’re told). If
you don’t, you may get gum disease, or other problems. But it’s
not urgent. If you leave it too long, however, it may become
urgent, because you may get toothache.
• Picking your children up from school is both urgent and
important. If you are not there at the right time, they will be
waiting in the playground or the classroom, worrying about where
you are.
• Reading funny emails or checking Facebook is neither urgent nor
important. So why is it the first thing that you do each day?
