Creating Time Part 2
Tip: “Schedule Less”
Each day we all have the same amount of time. If you have scheduled appointments or tasks from 9 AM until 9 PM, realistically you are never going to get it all done. Schedule each day with a reasonable number of appointments and tasks. Leave yourself a cushion of free time between each schedule item. You can utilize that time to regroup or if an appointment runs longer than you expected, you do not have to adjust your entire day.
Tip “Synchronize You Calendars”
For many of us, we have a calendar on our phone, on our computer, another on our work computer, and a family calendar. Make sure that all your calendars are synchronized to each other. Missing appointments because you put it your work computer but it never got to your phone is no excuse for blowing an important client lunch or missing your child’s play or game because you schedule a meeting but did not consider the family calendar. There are several online calendars from Google, Yahoo, etc. that you can share with everyone important in your life. This can help eliminate missing meetings or over scheduling a day.
