It may seem counter-intuitive to the workaholic. Some people can save time by spending a designated amount of it relaxing and planning ahead. Here a few time-saving tips to implement into a business from the hot tub:
Hot Tub Tip #1 - Outline
Unfortunately and fortunately, things change. This means outlining the day in front of you. Having a plan for the day can keep one disciplined. Think of it like letting the hot tub get warm before getting in it.
Hot Tub Tip #2 - Where is it Wasted?
One of the best ways to save time is to find more of it. Where can you save time? Spend time talking to coworkers about the weekend? Checking personal emails and sports scores on the Web? Leave work for work-related tasks. You can wait to check personal emails and you can catch the scores from your hot tub.
Hot Tub Tip #3 - Share Work
Some workers (especially those in management positions) can have a hard time delegating responsibilities. Time waits for no one; share responsibilities in order to get more accomplished. Is it time to clean your hot tub, but it keeps getting put off? How about sharing the responsibility with one of the kids?
Hot Tub Tip #4 - Time is Up!
Time never slows down, so you may have to place a limit on tasks. Designating a certain amount of time to address particular business tasks can grant more time for others. Staying in the hot tub for too long planning the day can leave one looking like a prune. After some time, it is time to put the cover back on and get to work!
