Learn how to organize your time at work

Organizing time and agenda has never been an easy topic to deal with on a daily basis. Constantly the schedule of the day can be surprised by new jobs and requirements that we usually call urgently! Who has never come to press someone saying “solve this question because it is urgent”, to throw the first stone.

It is important to know that from CEOs, from executives to professionals who are starting their careers, the challenge of organizing their own agenda to meet goals, deadlines and results is a task that dedicates broader attention and understanding to what we are usually accustomed to analyze . The challenge of understanding the important and the urgent to prioritize them begins in the reflection on how much we are living the same goals and goals of the company. By knowing where the company wants to go and recognizing the goals that are proposed to us as part of the company strategy, the first step is taken to fulfill the commitments of the agenda.

We all know how much can affect our professional life the non-compliance with the proposed for everyday business. So, my invitation is that you take some time to learn some tips on how to get organized and to feel less pressured and tense when opening the agenda of the day.

What is the difference between urgent and important?

Urgent are the situations / tasks / goals that need to be done quickly. The indispensable and indispensable tasks so that this situation does not become imminent of a serious problem or of causing damage if it remains in that state of “non-resolution”. Urgent tasks become chaotic when left out.

Important are the situations / tasks / goals that are essential if something planned is to be achieved by you or the company. Important are the tasks that you should evaluate as paramount so that the whole of a project, for example, is not affected by the noncompliance of the item in question. Often the important items are those that

become urgent when not executed in time by the disorganization of the agenda or by the lack of definition of priorities.

Set your goals:

1.Specific

Plan your schedule:

. Do this planning on Fridays or Sundays

. Mark the appointments of the week, with duration, and list the tasks related to them

. Add time to tasks and appointments. Only 70% of the day should be planned. The remaining 30% go to emergency room

. Who is not a top executive should have on average 20% of the time for appointments and 80% for tasks.
