3 7 Time Management Start each day by eating a live frog. 8 Personal Triggers I put my running shoes in my hallway at night. FINE, I can t get around them in the morning so I go running. There are happy posters by my door so I try to smile as I leave my place. This is one of the best ways to get in a good mood and generate positive thinking. I don t bring a power cord with me to coffee shops so I am limited to how much time I can work and goof off less. At the office I put some of my important items in a side room where I m more productive so I tend to go work in that room more often. Placing my scale at the end of my bed so I have to weigh myself each day. My pull-up bar is on my closet door so I tend to do pull-ups each time I get dressed. 9 3

7 How to Assertively Say No Steven Catania Prioritizing Your Time Effectively Conference for the Office Professional 2017 Learning to Say No Step 1: Consider Your OPTIONS We have been taught that it is rude to say NO, that it is impolite. Remember that every time you say YES to someone or something, you are in fact saying NO to something or someone else because you have a finite amount of time and energy. So, before you say YES, spend some time thinking about who/what you will have to say NO to, and when you think about saying NO, realize who will get a better YES! Step 2: Delay your RESPONSE Because many of us are optimists, our initial response to being asked to help is to generate the 5 or 10 good reasons why we should agree to help. The truth is, though, that the next day we can think of 20 reasons it might not have been a good idea. That is a sign that we should make it our habit to give ourselves time to think about it BEFORE we commit. Step 3: Have your SCRIPT The best thing you can do is have a few responses ready to go so it is easier for you to say NO when you need to! Here are a couple that have worked for others: 1. If you can ask again at a later time (next week/month/year) I might be able to say yes. 2. I need to check with my supervisor/coworkers and see where this fits in with the other projects we are currently working on. Saying No to Your Manager or Supervisor Managers assume you can do everything they hand you unless you speak up. Your aim should be twofold: to align your priorities with your manager s priorities and to partner with your manager about your work. Here are some suggested responses when your manager asks you to do extra work. Keep in mind that some requests may have to be honored. That s when you need to be flexible: 1. If I took this on right now I couldn t do it justice because I currently have too much on my plate. 2. I appreciate your confidence in me but right now I couldn t possibly do it justice with all I have to do. 1
8 Time Management Tips 1) Realize that time management is a myth. No matter how organized we are, there are always only 24 hours in a day. Time doesn't change. All we can actually manage is ourselves and what we do with the time that we have. 2) Find out where you're wasting time. Many of us are prey to time-wasters that steal time we could be using much more productively. What are your time-bandits? Do you spend too much time 'Net surfing, reading , or making personal calls? Track all of your daily activities for 1 week so you can form an accurate picture of what you actually do. This is the first step to effective time management. 3) Create time management goals and a plan. Remember, the focus of time management is actually changing your behaviors, not changing time. A good place to start is by eliminating your personal time-wasters that you identified from #2. 4) Use time management tools. Whether it's a Day-Timer or a software program, the first step to physically managing your time is to know where it's going now and planning how you're going to spend your time in the future. A software program such as Outlook, for instance, lets you schedule events easily and can be set to remind you of events in advance, making your time management easier. 5) Prioritize ruthlessly. You should start each day with a time management session prioritizing the tasks for that day and setting your performance benchmark. If you have 20 tasks for a given day, how many of them do you truly need to accomplish? 6) Learn to delegate and/or outsource. No matter how small your department is, there's no need for you to be a one-person show. For effective time management, you need to let other people carry some of the load. 7) Establish routines and stick to them as much as possible. While crises will arise, you'll be much more productive if you can follow routines most of the time. 8) Get in the habit of setting time limits for tasks. For instance, reading and answering can consume your whole day if you let it. Instead, set a limit of one hour a day for this task and stick to it. 9) Learn to say no. Such a small word and so hard to say. Focusing on your goals may help. Remember that whenever you say yes to something, you re also saying no to something else. If you say yes every time a coworkers asks for help, you re saying no to your own work. Try phrases like, I d be happy to help you when I get my tasks complete. 10) Don't waste time waiting. From client meetings to dentist appointments, it's impossible to avoid waiting for someone or something. But you don't need to just sit there and twiddle your thumbs. Always take something to do with you, such as a report you need to read, a checkbook that needs to be balanced, or just a blank pad of paper that you can use to plan your next marketing campaign. Technology makes it easy to work wherever you are; your cell phone will help you stay connected. 2
9 Delegation Guidelines When to Delegate Does the task provide an opportunity for another person to grow and develop his/her skills? Is this a task that will recur in a similar form in the future? Do you have enough time to delegate the job effectively? Time must be available for adequate training, for questions, for opportunities to check progress and for rework if that is necessary. Is this a task that I should delegate or is it a task that I should do? Tasks that are critical for longterm success need your attention. How to Delegate Clearly articulate the desired outcome. Begin with the end in mind, and specify the desired results. Clearly identify constraints and boundaries. Should the person: o Wait to be told what to do? o Ask what to do? o Act and then report results immediately? o Initiate action and report periodically? Where possible, include people in the delegation process. Empower them to decide what tasks are to be delegated to them and when. Match the amount of responsibility with the amount of authority. Understand that you can delegate some responsibility; however, you can t delegate away ultimate accountability. Delegate to the lowest possible organizational level. The people who are closest to the work are best suited for the task because they have intimate knowledge of the detail of everyday work. Provide adequate support, and be available to answer questions. Ensure the project s success through ongoing communication and monitoring as well as providing resources and credit. Focus on results. Concern yourself with what is to be accomplished, rather than detailing how the work should be done. Allow the person to control his or her own methods and processes. Discourage upward delegation. If there is a problem, don t allow the person to shift responsibility for the task back to you. Ask for recommended solutions, and don t simply provide an answer. Build motivation and commitment. Discuss how success will impact future opportunities, informal recognition and other desirable outcomes. Establish and maintain control. o Discuss timelines and deadlines. o Take time to review all work. o Make adjustments as necessary. o Agree on a schedule of checkpoints. 3
