My students and clients ask me all the time how I manage to fit everything I seek to do each week. I learned so much from two sources in particular – Lee Cockerell (Creating Magic) and Tim Ferriss (The Four Hour Workweek) – as well as from learning how to delegate and manage downtime.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
Some of the things I find that work the best in managing my time.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
1. Having one full “downtime day” a week. This means no work, no thinking about work, no correspondence. For me, this is Sunday (and half of Saturday).<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
2. Learning to let other people do what they do best so I can do what I do best. This means finding systems, processes, and people that allow you to delegate or share the workload with those who are more talented than you.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
3. Doing things and handling things once where possible (including mail, email, writing papers).<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
4. Sequentially handling tasks instead of multitasking. This leads to better results and more focus on the task at hand.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
What are your best practices in time management? Let me know my commenting or emailing me privately at robert@galaconcierge.com<\/a><\/div>\n
