Evaluation
Everyone feels at some time or another that there is just not enough
time to go round.
We live and work in a branch were time seems to fly
and decisions are needed instantly. Time is in short supply. Efficiency
is a must. Days are crammed with meetings and appointments.
In situations like this it is easy to devote all your time to others
and forget about yourself. This is not particularly effective.
Example: Your goal is to be accessible through
out the working day. You do not spend time with your family in the evenings.
Instead you spend the time finishing off what you did not complete during
the day.
Increased effectiveness is not about pushing yourself
to the limit. It is the reverse: getting the maximum possible from every
little effort.
Using Outlook to its full potential will give you more time for
the important things.
"But where can I find time to learn Outlook?" you are
probably thinking. Now is the perfect time to do the second lesson in
our Outlook school.
No one will give you time. Time is something you must
take. For example: book time with yourself! Make it a habit to regularly
book time with yourself.
