Insights and strategies shared in the ‘Time management Q&A’ workshop: 1. CHOICE a. Of priorities: what is important, what is objectively urgent. “If I start off on the right foot, anxiety and guilt go away.” b. Of the moment: the importance of concentration and subjective management of interruptions. “Until I’m done, I don’t look at my phone or email,” but also “If I don’t know what’s going on, I get anxious.” c. Of the place: creating and organizing a space suited to your needs. “It’s stimulating to be in a co-working space,” “Order around me is precious for concentration.” 2. KNOWLEDGE a. Of your own biorhythm: “I perform better in the morning,” but also “At night my concentration is at its peak.” b. Of yourself: “By nature, that’s how I am,” but also “I am extremely precise and I care that even the form is perfect.” c. Of the rules… and the exceptions: “In the morning I devote myself to unpleasant tasks, except on bad days.” 3. PLANNING a. Best practices: organize your workload to avoid overloads except in emergencies. “I’m refining my own system for planning operations,” but also “I enjoy the drive, without answering calls.” b. Delegation: an investment of time that then “frees up time for me.” c. Investing in yourself: “On Fridays at lunch break I can’t: I have an unmissable appointment for myself.”
