Time Management

When I left InsMark in 1987 to start my own company, Don Prehn, my fraternity buddy that brought me into InsMark, gave me a Daily Planner and said “I would wish you good luck with your new business, but you won’t need it.” That was definitely one of the nicest compliments I have ever received! And the Daily Planner started a continuing quest of mine to learn time management techniques and apply them to my daily life. Here are some of the time management principles I like the best.

Summary

All these topics might be a little overwhelming. So here is a summary of the most important time management techniques:

Do First Things First
  • Use a prioritized daily task list
  • Do the big things first

In other words: “Plan your work and then work your plan.”

Maximize Your Productivity
  • Use the 80-20 rule
  • Avoid interruptions
