Always busy, never time. It's one of the most common problems of busy CEOs and managers. Not surprisingly, you're constantly looking for new ways to squeeze every last minute out of your precious time to do something valuable with it. Our indispensable time management tips will get you further than ever before.
Is there so much on your plate that you can't see the forest for the trees? Is it so busy that all you can think about is how busy you are, so the minutes keep ticking away with no results? Thinking and talking doesn't help. Doing? It does! Make a priority list and work through the tasks piece by piece.
Don't try to solve future pitfalls when you have more important things on your mind. Stop thinking too long about things you don't know and tackle the things you do know about.
Don't waste time doing things you don't want to or can't do, because it won't pay off in the long run. People who love the process are the most motivated and achieve the greatest value. So have a strong team that takes away all your worries where you need them most, so you can focus on what matters.
You will not make it by waiting, but by trying and learning. The more you do that, the easier it becomes. This is an investment, but will pay off handsomely.
Make a tight schedule and then stick to it. At the end of the day, look back at everything you did, what went well and what could be better. So don't waste hours on social media, long coffee breaks or conversations about "how busy you are" when you could actually be growing.
As the manager of a team, you are responsible for almost everything that happens within that team. A poor performance by an employee, a slow process, a dissatisfied customer ... eventually it comes to you. Does this mean you have to constantly berate yourself? No, because then you lose time and focus. Take responsibility and do something about it, but don't judge. Others are already doing that for you.
