Time Management Tips

• Stop! Don’t answer the telephone when you’re leaving for an appointment, respect the commitment you already made!
   
• Start and end meetings on time and arrive at meetings on time. This shows your respect for others.
   
• Commit only to the things you know you can accomplish. This reveals your integrity in fulfilling promises.
   
• Set a deadline for completion of each task.
   
• Calendar appointments with yourself to accomplish the work.
    
• Honor your appointments with yourself – your time is just as valuable as everyone else’s!
   
• Use a timer to keep you on task.
   
• 3 Minute Rule: If you can do it in 3 minutes, don’t put it off.
   
• Politely cut calls (& office visits) short – set time boundaries early.
   
• NO (thank you) is a complete sentence.
