Here are The Nice Guys 6 proven time management techniques for extremely busy people:
- Say “NO“. While sometimes an easy thing to say, often times saying the word “No!” can be troublesome, but in order to stay on your path, learn to embrace the word.
- Prioritize Your To-Do List – Before you go to sleep or first thing when your head is clear in the morning, go through your schedule.
- Delegate – The most successful time managers are those that learn how to delegate properly.
- Don’t Micromanage – Resist the urge to manage all of the project details you have going on in your life.
- The Small Stuff – Extremely busy people are their own worst critics. Stop beating yourself up over the small stuff.
- Refresh – Seriously, it’s 1AM, do you think you are quite as sharp as you were at 11AM?
