Effective Time Management: How Do You Make the Most of Your Day?

Hi,

Please share your views on the attached small presentation on Effective Time Management.

With Warm Regards,
Shiv Prasad

Hi,

With a positive attitude, I hope we can change our boss, am I right?

Dear Shivaprasad,

I have seen many PowerPoint presentations on time management, but the one you sent was refreshingly different and good. It takes into account the responsibility of a leader and tells what he can do to effectively manage time. Many thanks for this lovely, innovative posting on time management. Let more and more presentations of this type come from you. You have done a good service to the HR fraternity.

Mr. Shiva Prasad,

Very nice effort. A few points for improvement.

It looks from the presentation -- you wanted to touch upon (a) Personal Time Management, (b) Organizational Time Management. You have touched Stephen Covey's Time Management Grid very well, too soon you have digressed a bit to Organizational Time Management. Benchmarking is a performance improvement tool; it seems a misfit here. Delegation is an excellent tool for time as well as motivation - you can draw from Stephen Covey again - 'go-for-delegation; stewardship delegation'. The 80/20 rule can also be used in personal time management.

For organizational effectiveness, meeting effectiveness, reporting structure, communication platforms/methods, and above all CULTURE is very important.

Thanks & regards,

Excellent and simple presentation. Every one of us realizes the need to manage time. Unfortunately, our time management goes haywire due to other people, like the bosses, colleagues, and subordinates. My suggestion is to have some buffer, say 15%, for such cases.
