Want to tackle your tasks more effectively? Instead of responding to emails and returning calls randomly, try setting specific times for each. For example, dedicate 2-3pm to returning calls, 3-4pm to clearing your inbox, and check for important calls at 8pm.
This method can make a huge difference in how much you can accomplish by focusing on one task at a time, instead of constantly switching between different tasks.
Yup! You can also use the timing to limit conversation on calls – any calls where you’re just closing a loop do during lunch or off hours and leave a voice mail. Stops the “While I have you on the phone….”
Group your meetings to one day if you can (Fridays are a good choice because folks tend to want to be done quicker.) You can also pre-schedule your week to group by project. E.g. Monday is dedicated to project A, Tuesday to project B, and so on. The beneficial side effect is that you can also optimize your approach for that day.
Your grouping idea also helps at home. Group your chore lists by location (bsmt, yard, out, 2nd floor, etc.) and schedule accordingly. Keeps you from running back and forth all day.
