Time Management
We all have 24 hours in a day. What we do with that time and how effectively we deal with our 24-hour allocation can have a significant bearing on our work performance, health, satisfaction and personal relationships. There’s no doubt that some people manage their allocated time better than others. Some time management suggestions include:
Remember, everyone has the same amount of time each day. How you spend it will have a significant impact on how you perform as an accountant.
Many business people need assistance with managing time – small, medium and large business operators. This is a legitimate activity for an accountant to conduct, as part of offering business advisory services in 2015.
- Establish daily and weekly to-do list.
- Mark off tasks when they’re completed.
- Periodically prepare a log sheet to identify how you spent your time.
- Control interruptions, especially telephone calls, emails and Skype.
- Try and have a quiet time each day. This is your quality time to think about the issues affecting you and your business.
- Encourage staff to set goals and productivity targets and, also, set your own.
- Make meetings productive by insisting on agendas being prepared, reports being distributed beforehand and making sure the meeting starts on time.
