Page 6: Got Time?

No matter how much time you want, you can’t get more of it.

The supply of time is FIXED & FINITE.

Page 7: Got Time?

It cannot be stored.

Time is totally perishable.

Page 8: Got Time?

It is your most valuable commodity.

Time is irreplaceable.

Page 9: Got Time?

Man is ill-equipped to manage his time... People are time-consumers. And most people are time-wasters.

- Peter Drucker, The Effective Executive

hundreds of daily emails and text messages, driving deadlines

and high expectations, most executives fall prey to time.

Page 13: Got Time?

The constant nagging of time disrupts your natural ability to FLOW.

Without FLOW, your creative output is hindered.

Page 14: Got Time?

A rare few learn to set up sacred time

to increase their effectiveness and find their natural FLOW.

Page 15: Got Time?

To achieve greater effectiveness, block off sizable chunks of work time for specific results. You need blocks of hours or a full day—not just a few minutes.

Page 16: Got Time?

Large, uninterrupted blocks of time are

needed to evaluate important decisions, complete projects and achieve creative results that contribute to the growth of the organization.

Page 17: Got Time?

But how are you to find these coveted blocks of time ??

Page 18: Got Time?

Start with the awareness that you can, in fact, create multiple-hour blocks of time.

Every executive—no matter how effective—wastes valuable time each week.

Page 19: Got Time?

KEEP IN MIND:We are paid for the contribution we make to the organization we work for. Thus, we must dedicate our time to achieve organizational goals that help a larger vision.

Page 22: Got Time?

STEPTWO Go on a time-wasters hunt.

Look at each activity and ask,

What happens if this doesn’t get done at all?

If the answer is nothing,

“ ”“ ” eliminate it.

Page 23: Got Time?

STEPSONE & TWO

If you do

honestly, you’ll probably be able to create a sizable chunk of time you don’t have today.

Page 24: Got Time?

STEPTHREE Find Leverage.

Determine what activities you’re doing that someone else might be better suited for.

(This doesn’t mean shoving your work on a co-worker’s desk.)

STEPSIX Stop wasting others’ time.

A common cause of time-waste is largely under the executive’s control and can be eliminated by him. That is the time of others he himself wastes.

- Peter Drucker

Page 30: Got Time?

DRUCKERrecommends asking your associates: What do I do that

wastes your time without contributing to your effectiveness?
