(Aren't all time management articles interesting).<br /><br />I will let your read the original article to get the points:<br /><br />1 - break your responsibilities into categories.<br /><br />2 - Ask what percentage of time to spend in each category.<br /><br />3 - Check alignment of this with colleagues and superiors.<br /><br />Then it give some tips on execution.<br /><br /><em> </em>I liked the article and it follows the tried and true - know your priorities and spend your time where the priorities are. What I would add though is a section on energy. In many cases, it is not just the time, it is the creativity and energy that makes the true difference in getting the right things done.Jim Estillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11589374299058476097noreply@blogger.com
