How’s your balancing act?
One of my biggest resolutions for 2017 is to cut my workweek down to under 50 hours per week. My time management skills get lost in translation whenever I’m tasked with last minute changes to ongoing projects. Work life balance is growing increasingly more important to me as I approach my 40’s. I looking for a place where I can remain an indispensable part of the team and still have time to cultivate a meaningful life outside of work. Anyone have any time management tips or advice to share with me?
It's okay to say NO. Your objective should be to take on only those commitments that you know you have time for, you truly care about, and are most important to ongoing projects.
Each day, identify the two or three tasks that are the most crucial to complete, and do those first.
