You have little hope of taking control of your time until you know where it goes.
Completing an Activity Log enables you to identify which tasks take the most time, and helps you pinpoint both the unimportant and the high-value activities that fill your day.
Using the Action Priority Matrix gives you a very clear view of which activities you should be doing, and which you should delegate or drop. When you look at a task’s impact and the effort it takes to complete, you might be surprised by what is actually an effective use of your time.
Finally, taking control of email is a huge step towards effective time management. With some decisive action and solid prioritizing, you can get your inbox under control and get on with the things that really need your attention.
