In my thirty years as a Time Management speaker, I have observed a lot of what we can and should
not do to increase our daily result. Time Management is not necessarily working harder, but quicker and
smarter. Sometimes our mistakes will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are the top four Time
Management mistakes we should all avoid to help us to increase our daily success.
a). Start your day without a plan of action. If so, you will have worked hard but may not have done
enough of right things. Time Management is not doing the wrong things quicker. Time Management is
doing the right things.
b). Work with a messy(杂乱的) desk or work areas. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends one and a half hours per day looking for things. If you have ever visited the
office of a top manager, who is working with a clean desk environment, you will find that the manager
works effectively(有效地).
c). Don't get enough sleep. Studies show that nearly 75% of us complain on a regular basis, all
throughout our days, that we are tired. For most people, they get the quantity of sleep, but they lack the
quality of sleep. Their days are filled with so much stress that they are out of control, working harder but
maybe not smarter, that it's difficult to get a full night's sleep.
d). Don't take a lunch break. Many do not take a lunch break, working through that period in the
hopes that it will give them more time to produce results. Studies have shown it may work just the
opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, we start to feel tired. A lunch break, even short,
gives us a chance to get our energy back again.
