How Valuable Were Your Last 40 Minutes?

Q: What are your tricks for time management?

“The simple answer is to attempt to avoid, at all costs, situations that waste people’s time.”

“Regarding my personal time management, I also try to live by the philosophy that focuses on: ‘What did I do that was productive and beneficial in the last 40 minutes?’ I literally sit at my desk completing a task and ask myself if I am actually being valuable. If I have not done anything constructive or useful in the last 40 minutes, I am not managing my time well and need to adjust what I am doing to execute more effectively.

“It’s also tremendously important to focus on what I am doing in the moment.”
