Time management with Lynley Stone

Lynley gave us the benefit of her insight and research into time management with humour, anecdotes, and encouragement to reflect on our personal style, stress points, and strategies...
Are you a monochron or a polychron ? Do you feel in control of your time ?
Some of her suggestions include :
  • Make SMART goals - key element to success
  • Break big, daunting tasks into chunks - think Annual Report !
  • Make lists and organise them...
  • Keep a diary / day log - find a model that works for you
  • Explore workplace tools eg software and systems that are available
  • Know yourself and what works best for you and how to achieve a work / life balance...
For more suggestions and self-reflection, see the workbook Lynley provided.

"Time is the coin of your life.
It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent.
Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you."

Carl Sandburg, US biographer & poet (1878 - 1967)
