We are back at it with Implementing a Time Management System. As time management continues to be a very important topic for Christina, we continue the conversation around getting things done. Whether you're running a small business or running a household, tasks are inevitable and getting them done should be a priority. Christina begins this show with breaking down the mind dump concept, which is designed to help you gain clarity for your everyday tasks down to your long term projects. For your everyday task, handling the most important duties first are imperative. This will alleviate the many pressures that come with getting things done. Tasks that are the most important should have priority over things that don’t need your immediate attention. Maybe a bit of discipline is required to do this, but it will get you where you need to be. Be aware that of that task list you create everyday, only about 50% of it will get completed and that is okay. The goal is to get everything out and focus on things that require your immediate attention. The mind dump exercises should be done every morning as soon as you step foot in your office or work space. The next big element is doing a 6 month review of where you are in your business. This requires you to take a deeper look at your projects and assess if those projects are still in alignment with your purpose. Six months is a decent amount of time to determine where certain projects and tasks stand in your business. Sometimes projects and tasks can naturally change over time, which will require an evaluation to determine its importance or lack thereof. It's vital for any business to do periodic project/task assessments to make sure they are on track and moving according to plan. On occasion a project or task can lose its momentum and in that case if you don’t want to rid it completely, you can add it to your someday or maybe list for the future. The most crucial part of this concept is being honest and ready for revision. The key is making sure you are 100% aware of what needs to be done and not being afraid to remove things or add them as needed. In this episode you will learn: 1. Tactics for a proper mind dumping morning routine. 2. Determine what task/projects hold priority over others. 3. Creating a list to keep your tasks and projects under control. As you can see Christina finds time management to be the one of the most important factors of a successful business. As you begin to implement these steps, you will notice a significant change that is necessary for not only your company’s growth, but for your personal growth as well.
