L'art de (se) diriger ( le blog de Laurent Pellegrin)

Time management is one of those importants things and skills no one teaches you at school but really have to learn. Here are some tips to make you better at managing your work I found in the New Straits Times while I was in Malaysia last monday :

1. Learn to say no to nonessential demands on your time ;
2. Do the most important things first ;
3. Don't leave email sitting in your in box (take action as soon as you read it) ;
4. Know when you work best ;
5. Schedule time for people, including yourself ;
6. Organize your to-do-list everyday ;
7. Do not procrastinate ;
8. Delegate as many chores as you can ;
9. Dare to be slow.
