  Time Management Top 5 mistakes

  Great article. In my time management coaching I see people falling for these mistakes everyday. And changing even one of them makes a big difference. When my clients and readers change several, they gain 5, 10 even 20 hours a week. The trick though is that while these things seem simple when written in an article, they are hard to do. And hard to maintain. I suggest a great starting point is to know where your time goes now. Track your time for 2 weeks and see what insights you get. You can get a free time tracking form and explanation on how to use it at http://www.time-management-central.net/time-management-forms.html. And remember to turn those 5 mistakes in to what you should do instead. Make a plan for each week and each day, spend time on high impact activities, delegate every day, keep your work area clean & tidy, focus on one thing at a time and do it really well.

  #4 not necessarily so!

  I have to take issue with #4. My office looks like a bomb hit it, yet I know where everything is. If it were all neat and tidy, I'd waste more time trying to find everything I needed and then putting it all back and I wouldn't get anything done! It depends upon your personality traits whether a sparse or chaotic workplace suits you best. Heck I could even tell you over the phone where to find something in this 'mess' because there is a method to my madness. As Nietzsche said 'out of chaos comes order', that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

  I don't think that item 5 belongs here. You are often have to multi-task or some people are just more efficient this way. Other four - I agree with.

  RE: The Top 5 Time-Management Mistakes

  Personality and work style play a role, which is why some people disagree with #4 or #5. My style, ADD that is, means I have to obey rule #5 or nothing gets done. However, if I have a clean office, its more because others see it as a sign of success rather than it playing any role in my true success - who keeps that much paper around anymore anyway?

  The top 5 simple tips are good reminders to all of us. Though we may know it, sometimes we get carried away with daily task that we tend to forget these 5 simple rules.

  Precise and concise presentation of essentials. I also appreciate the value addition by Mr_Time as the percentage of population who is aware of the mistakes but unable to change ways is more than those unaware of the time management mistakes!

  #4. I had a Professor in college once tell me that a clean desk was the sign of a lousy engineer! To this day I believe him and think it goes for just about any other field too. If your desk is immaculate, you don't have enough work to do!!
  
  #5. If you're not multi-tasking, you don't have enough work to do either...get some more work!!
