Save an hour each day!

I while ago, I performed a seminar for the association Executives International in Switzerland. The topic: “How to double your results – in half of the time!” The feedback was outstanding.

Since many people find this topic one of the most important of all (who has too much time?), I’d like to give you three ideas you can apply today to get more done in less time:

1. Clarify your key result areas. At which subject areas do you create the most value? You can answer this question for your private and your professional life. Then, schedule your tasks in a way that you spend 80 percent of your time on these activities. This requires some habit changes.
2. Reduce time thieves. These are people, meetings, and events which do not or only contribute a little to the achievement of your goals in the key result areas. As a rule of thumb, most executives can reduce their time in meetings by half. You should at least spend 50 percent of your time under own control.
3. Work in power blocks of 25 minutes, then take a break of 5 minutes. This keeps your mind fresh for a long period. Most people are simply exhausted and make bad decisions toward the end of the day. This little technique doubles your mental endurance.

If you like these ideas, I suggest we discuss how you can apply them for yourself and your team. Click here to schedule a brief exploratory session.
