The most common question Shaz is asked is ‘how do you find the time to fit everything in with  5 businesses, your work as a City councillor and as part of the board of 2 charities?

Shaz shares how he is able to do all this and spend quality time with his young family in this episode about effective time management.

Instead of time management, it should be really be called self-management because, in reality, we can’t manage time, we can only manage ourselves and Shaz explains the most effective ways to work smart and get more done every day with some great content that anyone can start using now.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Prioritise

• Before you complete your day write down the 3 things you want to prioritise the following day, work on those  first the following day beginning with your No1 priority tasks.
• You then keep adding tasks throughout the day and reassessing whether to move down the list, according to priority.

Pomodoro technique

• For 20mins in an hour focus 100% on a very specific task, it is then possible to increase the amount you achieve substantially.

Delegation

• Everyone puts off certain tasks but tackling the tasks or delegating them is a good way to get them done quickly and efficiently

Allocating regular time slots

• Having time allotted for specific tasks every week using a good diary system and giving priority to keeping to these allotted times is effective for time management.
• This is about working smarter so you have the time to do what you want to do.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you don’t value your time and protect it others won’t either’

‘Get disciplined and only check emails 2 or 3 times a day so you can get other things done’

‘You must respect yourself and your own time’
