Time Log - Key to Time Management
Time Log - the step towards effective Time Management
Holistically maintenance of a Time Log not only helps a person for effort analysis, but also forms the basis of Research and Analysis to plan better for a more efficient and effective utilization of time. This happens very oftenly with the IT professionals when the Project Management comes into play.
Activity Log and Deviation
If anybody studies any Activity Log that has maintained ethically, he can analyze that there is a great deviation from Objectives scheduled for Tomorrow.
The Basic reasons may be various. We can just estimate a few but it will much more appropriate, if you draw a graph on your own, as you must believe that no two persons’ problems can hardly be identical.
Some generic reasons for a delivery team are the interim calls for meeting and marketing which causes a major deviation. If one is the technical expert or a team leader then the situation becomes worse. It is highly pertinent to keep adequate provision for Problem Solving session as the juniors will surely seek your help when they are in trouble and who knows that how much time do you really need to solve it!
As flower blossoms, the fragnance is never left behind, a technical expert, in general, is even called accross the department for problem solving.
Refine To Do List
Perhaps the prevailing practice of mentioning only the head-points in the To Do lists are not adequate, where exigencies and deviations are routine affairs in any organisation.
Rather a further break-ups with an estimate of time duration may be more fruitful in future planning, failing which a continued backlog will be created and some important but NOT Urgent type of work can never be accomplished.
This may please be noted that any job, which does not have an urgency always is set backward, at least partially, because of the pressure of Urgent Jobs and at times even due to the procastination tendency, which is an obvious human nature.
A salient example may be like research on new technologies or competitive analysis. Remember, postponemen of such jobs may bring about a business disaster for your organization.
Control your distraction and remain focussed!
