| Schedule |
| If
you can schedule time for your work in a way which allows you to get things done,
you will be more able to meet your deadlines. You will have set aside the time
to do what you need to do, and you will find that you have made time to do all
sorts of things you never had time for. |
| |
| Procrastination |
| If
you are avoiding a task, it will not go away and will ultimately end up as a self-imposed
crisis Ð and crises are prize methods of wasting time. |
| |
| One
bit at a time |
| ...confront
all large jobs by treating them as you would treat watermelons: cut them into
manageable chunks. Having done so, work out a schedule for these chunks and tackle
one bit at a time. |
| |
| Don't
fool yourself |
| If
you fool yourself into believing your own excuses for not doing things, you will
never get down to doing something about it. Be honest with yourself and identify
the real reasons why things either do not get done at all or do not get finished
on time. |
