Some simple tricks for finding time for yourself:
1. De-clutter your schedule
- Look at your timesheet for time wasters
- Analyze timesheet to find tasks you spend most of your time with least results/ satisfaction
- Try and be more efficient in selected activities
- Drop / reduce time for few activities which may not make serious sense
2. Learn to delegate
- Identify & delegate to others tasks which they can do better, not important to you or need early completion
- Coach/ train/ mentor people to handle tasks which you may want to delegate
3. Learn to say ‘no’
- Typical tasks which you may want to say NO to could be: Tasks not adding to your Goals/ KRA, Paucity of time/ preoccupation, You do not have the skills/ confidence to do, Not interested/ motivated to do the task
