Time Management is Energy Management

Did you realize that you have certain times of the day when you have more energy than at other time?  When it comes to time management you can actually save time by doing certain tasks when you have more energy.  That time period is called your PPP – peak productivity period.

 

For example: consider doing things that are important but not necessarily pleasurable during your high energy period or “ppp.” Consider doing creative thinking or decision making during those periods as well.  Those activities require not only your best, but more energy.  It’s an interesting thing – when you have more energy, you may be more willing to do something that is not so pleasurable and you’ll make fewer mistakes, which saves time and reduces stress.

 

What to do during your low energy times? …filing, returning phone calls, opening mailing, talking a chat break with a colleague or checking B or C priority email.  This strategy will prove to increase your productivity and will also reduce your mistakes, which also in turn saves time.

 

So look through the times of the day and determine what time period would be your peak or peaks.  Look at when you have the most natural energy, then plan your work accordingly.
