Time Is a Fleeting Thing - Part 1

By Kathleen J. Wheelihan

You’ve heard it before—time favors no one; time is one of the great equalizers; and all the other truisms that describe this fleeting commodity that we all share. The truth is that although we can’t control the passage of time, we can make better use of the time we have. In the next few editions of The Achiever, we’ll be sharing some tips and tools from our “I Hate Time Management” program to help you find ways to better manage the use of your time. In this issue, we’ll talk about Focus and the Swiss Cheese Technique.

Focus

What methods or systems have you put in place to create focus on the things that are important to you? Writing down your goals, creating a personal mission statement and values, a planner, to do lists, computer software, bulletin boards, sticky notes? All these methods can help you create the focus you need. The key is to know what works for you and what derails you from focusing on what’s important. Remember, we achieve those things on which we focus!

Swiss Cheese Technique

time management swiss cheese techniqueBy “poking holes” in a large task, you can accomplish an activity by using little bits of time instead of waiting for one large block of time. Whether writing a report, planning a vacation, or completing a home improvement project, breaking the job down into smaller pieces not only helps organize the project and proactively prepare for the different phases, it also allows for completion in smaller segments. This technique reminds us of the value of any amount of time, no matter how small.
