Time Management
and Productivity are two peas in a pod. It’s
very hard not to spill over into the other when
you deal with either issue. That is why
Productivity is the next area we will be
dealing with. The best way to separate the two
areas of activity is this way,
Time
Management deals with
setting up the blocks of time
Productivity deals
with what goes on inside those blocks of
time
As we move
forward dealing with Productivity we will touch
on issues that are covered in detail in the
Power Time System. If you are a visitor to that
site, you will already be familiar with what we
have covered on that site. If not, visit, The
Power Time System and spend some time looking
at what we have to offer there. We will be
referencing aspects of the Power Time System
and it will be beneficial to your understanding
of this topic to be familiar with that System
as well.
Let’s take a
quick look at some of the areas we will be
covering here.
Accomplishing
More
Isn’t this the
key? It does not matter what it is, we want to
get more accomplished, and we want to get more
done in less time. Achieving both goals is
difficult. We will be dealing with both aspects
of wanting to accomplish more.
Maximizing Our
Efforts
We want to get
the maximum benefit to ourselves from the
energy and effort we expend. If I work hard for
3 hours, I want to ensure that my results will
reflect the time and effort that I invested.
Invested is a word we will be using as we show
ways to get the most from the time and energy
you spend.
The
Maximizing Factor
How do I
maximize myself? How do I maximize those that
work with me and for me? There are several ways
to do this and we will show you how to use
these techniques to get the most out of your
effort and time. I will tell you one of the
more powerful tools and it may surprise you.
Two workers doing the same job, one
consistently produces more, why? The worker who
produces more is usually the worker who has a
clearer understanding of what his task entails.
He will all in all likely hood be more trained
and more skilled as well. Much more to come in
this important area.
Work
Smarter, Not Harder
There is always
a right way to do a task and there is always a
less than right way to do it. You always want
to be the person who looks at a task or job and
says “I can do that better, or faster, or more
efficiently “. There are times when you need to
just put your head down and get at it, no
question about that. There are more times
though when spending time on thinking about
ways to improve and do it better will reap
substantial returns compared to the wasted
effort of not spending a little time in advance
of doing the task.
Productivity and
Management
These words go
hand in hand. Managers have to manage if they
want to get the Productivity they expect. Time
and time again I look at companies and see the
results they are getting and then have to
listen to owners and managers complain about
the out put from there employees. The first
area that I look at is the IMPACT that the
managers and owners have in the production
process. Far too often, staff, employees is
left to basically shift for themselves. We will
show you the methods and tools that will impact
your production process and increase your
output substantially.
Organize
Your Time To Organize There
Time.
This statement
has far reaching implications for you and your
productivity. Whether you are looking at
getting more done yourself, or you are managing
any number of employees, organization is a key
element in maximizing your efforts and getting
the biggest bang for the smallest buck
invested. Done right, organizing, especially
prior to the activity will virtually guarantee
that you will reap the greatest rewards from
the minimum effort and time expended. We will
show you how to get those maximum
returns.
Maximum
Productivity Requires Perseverance and
Commitment
Productivity is
all about action. Action requires effort, could
be mental, could be physical, and is usually
both. You have to be committed to the task and
then you have to hang in there to get the
results you want. We are talking about getting
maximum results, we are talking about getting
that last 3 or 4 % more out of an hours labor.
The last 3 or 4 % could be the difference
between a profit and a loss. We spend time
dealing with these issues and how they will
effect your results and bottom line.
