Know thy time.
- Chapter 2 of “The Requirements of Management,” “Know Thy Time.”
- The first step in helping knowledge workers achieve results is to document how they actually spend their time.”
- ‘My observation is that those who achieve don’t start with the work. They start with time. They don’t even start with planning. They start by identifying what is taking up their time. Next, he dismisses unproductive demands on his time in order to manage it. And finally, we organize the time that is freed up in this way. Thus, the three-step process of recording, organizing, and summarizing time is the basis of successful time management.”
- Those who achieve results know that time is the limiting factor. In every process, the most scarce resource is the one that defines the limits of results. That is time.”
- “Those who work in organizations spend their time on the kind of work that contributes nothing to results but cannot be ignored. A great deal of time is spent on work that seems obvious but is actually of little or no use at all.”
