Chunks of Time

Time is one of the most valuable resources you have. I think it’s true for everybody! How and where you spend your time determines the quality of your life. And you need to get control over your time.

Especially as I started my Internet Business in spare time, I have to rethink how I spend the very little time I have left for me most effectively. It can be done, because everybody on the planet has the same amount time. And there are people who can do their stuff every day.

In my first article in this series I started to discuss the possibility to make more time for your family or business. This was the first rule: Do less!

In the second article I wrote about the rule of working, or not working.

In the third article you could read about Schedule and Obsession.

Now lets see the next two rules!

Create Chunks of Time

When you can combine 2 or more things into one chunk of time, you will be more effective and use up less energy and time. For instance if you have to leave your office for a meeting you can probably put something else you have to do outside as well. So you don’t have to leave again later and save time with this.

You can also chunk similar tasks together. If you are answering emails, you can also answer the post mail.

Are Meetings Necessary?

Many of us are still wasting time in ineffective meetings. Are these meetings really necessary or can you do the same via email, phone, conference? Especially if you have to leave your working space, even drive of fly somewhere, is this really necessary? We are in the XXI. century. You can use the Internet, or maybe you can put a meeting into your lunch-break. This will safe time and you can have a nice conversation there.

And the most important: Not just read about it! Do it!
