We talked about scheduling time to get from one meeting to another in the previous post but there is an extension to this. Make sure YOU plan your day, not your business associates. All too often I hear management say, "I did not get lunch today" or " I have been on the run and have not had a chance to stop". Come on, get a grip, you are in control and it is up to you to manage your time and practice stress control.
Project Management Templates | for the Professional Project Manager
Solid programme and project management templates with detailed guides and examples. Everything a project manager needs to deliver a successful programme or project.
The first thing you should do in every job you work in, is to make sure you schedule two decent breaks a day which include at least half an hour for lunch and a 20 minute break somewhere else in the day. If you are like most people you will be using something like Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes to manage your day. Both allow you to schedule unavailable time in your calendar, so do IT!
Project Management Basics | Project Management Training
Project Management Training Basics is the manual for delivering programs and projects on time and on budget. This training manual will give you the basics of Project Management to make you a sucess at your business.
By scheduling YOU time, you can ensure you have enough time to have a break, do a little meditation and relax and prepare for the rest of the day. If you are like me and work 16 hours a day, then you should also be putting into your plan a decent Dinner break of at least an hour and half an hour at the gym, even if it is just using the treadmill. If you do not do this, it will catch you up to you and you will be a statistic at 40. Do not laugh, my leading hand lost his life because he did not do the right thing. It can happen to you. All this stress control and time management duties sound like they will only use up more of the time that you already don't have enough of. Not so, Try it and you will see that you actually have more time and enjoy your work much more.
