Laws of Time:
- By consciously taking into account the laws of time, you will gain a lot in efficiency.
- You will learn: Get more results in less time.
Focus funnel: You can't manage time, but you can manage yourself.
- Priority ensures a different order, not a short time commitment. What does save time? Self-management: "Should I do this now?"
- Elimination: Thinking about what we are doing: thinking about whether each task needs to be done (does it have added value)?
- What do you do with the emails that come in?
- Automate/simplify: thinking about how we do it (is this way the most efficient way?) The question you will be asked:
- Which workflow is the best fit?
- How can you answer with as few actions/time investment/intermediaries as possible? In other words, how do you reduce time-waste?
How to deal with incoming mail:
- When to reply to an email?
- How to reply to an email?
- Automatic?
