Time management

Management of working hours as one more step to success

You never reflected, what is the time spend for empty conversations, on the tasks which performance is not included into your duties, yes is simple on searches of the paper necessary at present? Count up, and the received result can unpleasantly surprise and even to shock.

Now increase it by quantity of the working days — and you will understand, why till now, for example, did not become the chief why you not too appreciate and do not pay it is so much, how many it is necessary to employees of a corresponding position or why you so passionately wish to change a service place. And after all time is that tremendous capital which is given everyone from a birth …

Certainly, today any working processes can be accelerated thanking, for example, to the same computer. Imagine, as it would be good to sound to the monitor the task which has given you a dear management, and after the lapse of several seconds to receive on the screen the necessary answer with the necessary data, substantiations and calculations, and then to come to the chief, to report, receive a praise, then to take from a shelf a pie …

Когда‑нибудь, probably, and will be, but while your workplace therefore exists, that without you as expert in the organisation not to manage. To all the time, and we live here and now. Not without reason the poet of Soviet period Alexander Kushner has told: «Times do not choose, in them live and die». Therefore let's think together that to us does not suffice successfully to operate time. опять‑таки it is necessary to allocate time for it. But the similar investment will pay off subsequently.

So, easy think how to save on work promptly running seconds, minutes, hours. Why, for example, for nothing meaning conversation you are capable to throw all, and for performance of the important task are not present? Correctly, because empty chatter does not demand from you efforts, and business requires special concentration of attention.

1. Separate prime from minor, urgent — that can wait still. At once place priorities. Have made the important task — please, be scattered in verbal fireworks if it is necessary for you. So is not present, at us always on the contrary! There is one more unpleasant problem: you cannot force to sit down and make yourselves simply. Be defined, in what a hitch: do not know how to start the task; do not understand, how it to execute for so short term; regret, that were got involved in similar business; simply laziness or it is terrible.

Let's admit, to you have charged what anybody in your department did not do. Basically, anything new, but все‑таки a little боязно. «And suddenly I will not consult?» — you think and postpone business for uncertain term. Thought not absolutely approaching for the given situation. If comes to nothing mind, begin with a question which the well-known master of shocking set to itself in the mornings El Salvador Distances: «That else this genius today will make?» Meaning itself favourite. Or write the big letters: «the Best employee in the field of the decision difficult (grandiose, scale, the most responsible) problems», — also put before itself. This adjusting maneuver will necessarily push you to action. And therein will understand also all the rest, that you disturbs. For example, whether it is possible to cope with the task in so limited term? The main thing — that anybody and distracted nothing you from process.

2. Learn to speak "is not present" to temptations and temptations, and also thieves of your working hours. «Time — money» as the scientist and politician Benjamin Franklin in the composition «Young merchant» has written in 1748 known to us under images on стодолларовых denominations. But we почему‑то at all forget about it, when business concerns performance of official duties.

One my familiar businessman, the big clear head, the person taking a great interest and very sociable, is compelled to work basic time at home. Simply earlier in its smart office in the centre of Moscow already to twelve o'clock in the afternoon friends were tightened and … actively prevented to work to it: «the Old man, well you all sit at papers? Instead of whether to go to us to have dinner in new restaurant? Instead of whether to go to us on hunting (to a bath, on fishing, in a billiard room etc.)?» Instead of sending these clingfishes, the businessman missed favourable contracts, did not trace already available and as a result lost the big money. In such depressing position it was guilty itself: was not able to tell when it is necessary "is not present". And to do it, we will be extremely frank, the big art.

Key rules for those who cannot speak "are not present":
А «do not hang up on itself monkeys» as psychologists speak. If you have asked что‑то to make, and you are very occupied, do not incur obligations. And tell: «Anything to promise I can not yet!»
B.Chtoby not to offend the darling of "the thief of your time», at first understand its position, then mentally count possible consequences of the refusal. Also tell approximately following: «I, of course, understand, how much it is important for you, but now I can not …» in any way
To V.Objazatelno offer the alternative decision. For example, to the offer in point Would add: «Ask Ivan Stepanovicha, it understands this question better me».
G.Esli you should кому‑то refuse, do not avoid unpleasant conversation («For Смирнова I was not present today» — the acquaintance фразочка?), better at once have cultural a talk with the person. And it will not feed illusions, and at you mountain from shoulders …
On work, it is especially important to show D.Otkazyvaja, that it is demanded by interests of business, that is you are guided not by personal motives: «I Appreciate your persistence and infinite charm, but the investment of means of our firm offered by you is not entered in any way in the made budget of an advertising campaign this year».

3. Try to improve own communication skills and organisation. In connection with all aforesaid it is necessary to learn to communicate on work quickly and effectively, instead of to beat around the bush. Then you rightfully can consider: if your colleagues or the more subordinates not at once react to your accurate remarks and instructions is their problems.

Try to catch quickly also an essence of that to you speak, about what ask. We will admit, the business partner long and floridly describes, that its office on repair as in the next building there was a fire, the house computer has broken, the bank account of firm is blocked, and the left bookkeeper has mixed платежки … you at once have understood, at what he drives, therefore stop the interlocutor: «is shorter, it is necessary to alter our contract?» Let on explanations leaves as small as possible precious time. Business is business.

If feel, that conversation too sharp, soften with its phrase of type: «As it is pleasant to deal such obligatory (attentive, vigorous, business, sensible, democratic) with the person, as you!» If you the chief, learn funk-tsionalno and effectively to delegate power and do not forget to supervise process of performance of tasks. Probably, that to you is clear from a half-word, for your subordinate is inaccessible.

However do not regret time to rake paper blockages on the desktop. All necessary should be at present before your eyes. Leave old records and documents! What for to you of a paper «times очаковских and покоренья Crimea»? Only if you precisely know, that the given documents когда‑нибудь will emerge, create archive: the folder number такой‑то to store to такого‑то. And at the appointed time be not too lazy to see once again a paper and to send unnecessary in a garbage basket. Do not go in cycles in the past. Will start to finger soul various thoughts of type «here then we did it so», memoirs will pour down, and you will lose necessary rate.

And still: whatever was your work — whether you stamp details at factory or draw pictures in a workshop, — as much as possible use the EFFICIENCY. Be responsible, even insignificant at first sight a little study to do qualitatively. It is necessary effectively to use time (badly will make — it is necessary to correct!) so, to be in good repute and grow on an office ladder. Yes it is simple even to respect itself.

4. Force time to work on you. When the office of lord Russell has taken out on voting the liberal law expanding the rights of citizens, including workers, statesman William Juart Gladston, addressing to the conservatives who have opposed the law, has wisely told: «you cannot battle against the future. Time works on us». From here this expression also has gone. But our problem is much deeper than the historical primary source: we should understand not only that we can receive in the future, but also realise праведность the today's efforts. I underline, праведность.

It concerns not only works, but also, strangely enough, to private life. That in общем‑то it is very closely connected. We will result a simple everyday example. The husband, strongly having struck the wife, has left to another. Long hid, being afraid of reprisals from law enforcement bodies, but, having learnt, that nothing threatens it for the put physical injuries, has grown bolder. Also began to have legal proceedings with former second half из‑за a tiny flat. Round the clock studied legal and housing codes, went on various public instances, tried to win round the child — that is, used all means to move the former wife from apartment which he so precipitately and disgracefully has left in due time.

The woman, having recovered after a beating and a shock, was arranged for good work and all efforts has directed on career growth. She knew, that in the given situation it has only a limited quantity of time and it should work on it. While its former shouted on all corners, that he has no place to live with a new family and the baby, the woman took the credit in bank and has bought apartment to the evolved child. Having paid it, was engaged in building of the own. The blessing the high post in the company to it allowed to take loans and credits. She has sold that unfortunate flat, из‑за which was long-term ugly cheese-pine forest, naturally, having given the put share to the former husband (which to it, most likely, has not sufficed and on an initial payment as it removes to this day habitation).

Then the lady has bought apartment in the elite house, has constructed a cottage in the country and eventually has opened the profitable business. And its former husband except a neurosis of anything acceptable and has not earned … Similar and return vital examples it is possible to find thousand. What here you will tell? Do not spend precious years for war, conflicts, "justice" restoration, be above petty household insults. Time — the best doctor. Work in direct and figurative sense on light tomorrow, and only then time will obey you.

Remember Mikaela Tariverdiev's song on Robert's words Christmas of a teleserial «Seventeen instants of spring» in which it is sung: «do not think of seconds haughtily»? On work just about them we also forget — прокуривая, пробалтывая, having a drink (tea, coffee or что‑нибудь is stronger …), at all not hearing their art whistle at our temple. Certainly, at everyone the temperament: кто‑то, for example, quickly makes of the decision, and кто‑то should think. But it never excused laziness, empty time-forwarding, looseness and professional failures.

How here not to recollect one more known and approaching to a theme of our narration the statement which has sounded in the sixth action of a drama Vladimir Majakovskogo's "Bath": «Time, forward!» Especially it became popular after an exit in 1932 of the novel of Valentine Kataeva with the same name. And known Soviet composer George Sviridov so named the musical play which long time served as prompt to the evening information teleprogram. Do not forget also you, that time inevitably runs forward and our problem — not to pursue this wild, unrestrained horse, and to learn to operate it, as a dashing three which flies there where we will specify to it.
