8 time management tips to make you more productive
November 1, 2010
Use these techniques for better achieving goals and saving more time.
1. Commit your goals and time tables to writing.
2. Plan or schedule each day’s activities. In effect, this is your “to do” list.
3. These activities should support your goals. If not, change the activities or your goals.
4. Prioritize these activities in the order of their importance in accomplishing your goals.
5. Do each activity in the order of its importance.
6. Do one thing at a time. This is the only way you can focus your attention on the task and do it effectively in a minimum amount of time.
7. Discontinue activities not essential to accomplishing your goals to allow more time to do those activities on your list. Don’t mistake activity for accomplishment.
8. Scrutinize the way you spend your days to avoid or minimize such time wasters as telephone interruptions, drop-in visitors, ineffective delegation, personal disorganization, procrastination, idle conversation and inability to say no.
About the Author: Bob Cain
Some 30 years ago Bob Cain went to a no-money-down seminar and got the notion that owning rental property would be just the best idea there is for making money. He bought some. Trouble was, what he learned at the seminar didn’t tell him how to make money on his rental property. He went looking for help in the form of a magazine or newsletter about the business. He couldn't find any.
Always ready to jump at a great idea, he decided he could put his speaking and writing skills to work and perform a valuable service for other investors who needed more information about property management. So Bob ferreted out the secrets, tricks and techniques of property management wherever he found them; then he passed them along to other landlords.
For over 25 years now, Bob has been publishing information, giving speeches, putting on seminars and workshops, and consulting for landlords on how to buy, rent and manage property more effectively.
