Career series #2: Make Time for Time

Because I used to be a procrastinator, I knew how it feels. Guilty and also weird pleasure feeling at the same time. Sometimes (often) procrastinators end up with either multiple tasks at once or couldn’t finish the most strategic tasks. I think this article is somehow suitable for all procrastination-quitters out there.

Most people assume they dedicate more hours to strategic work than they actually do. Look back on the past month in your calendar. The time you spent on your strategic priorities is likely less than you thought. Because most people tend to do the most urgent things instead of the most meaningful things.

So, let’s make time for time:
1. Identify your top five priorities for the coming year
2. Each month make sure you spend enough time on those priorities
3. If you don’t, it’s time to cancel some meetings and build in time for the things that matter.
