You can use three questions on a regular basis to keep yourself focused on getting your most important tasks completed on schedule. The first question is, "What are my highest value activities?" The second question you can ask continually is, "What can I and only I do that, if done well, will make a real difference?" This question comes from Peter Drucker, the management guru. The third question you can ask is, "What is the most valuable use of my time right now?"- Brian Tracy, Eat that Frog
As I write this and you read it, our to-do lists are continuing to grow with a seemingly never-ending list of tasks (don't panic). We all know that we will never cross every single item off, so what do we do to make the most out of the time we have? The three time management questions Brian Tracy has compiled give us an excellent start: they help us avoid the distractors and time-wasters and simply get down to business. So try it out now—what will you accomplish next?
