Be CMS Guide Be CMS Guide
Outreach is a fun duty:
• Show the public around
• Many crowds are waiting
• Necessary trainings & guide training look at Safety
• Provide presentations and interviews…
24-25 May:4500 visitors to CMS UXC (300/hr theoretical limit sustained great volunteer team from all over CERN led by Christoph Schaefer & Marzena Lapka.
26 May: >700 school-children, then CMS families visit UXC

Policy for Yourself Policy for Yourself
Kerstin Borras | Induction Session - Practicalities | 18h July 2014 | Page 30
Policy for Yourself Policy for Yourself
Be a nice guide for yourself
Do not get lost in crowd
You and your goals are important for CMS
value it for yourself, too.
Be engaged in CMS … and in yourself: Work-Life-Balance
Use your resources with a lot of care and efficiently
Kerstin Borras | Induction Session - Practicalities | 18h July 2014 | Page 31
Time Management Time Management
Be aware:
• Time is our most precious resource: time is money, but most of all it is our LIFE - TIME
• Time is irrecoverable and beyond retrieval
• We all take care that our money is not stolen, but often we are thieved our time and sometimes waste our time ourselves
• How much time do we have ? 30 years x 220 days x 8h = 52,800 hours 30 years x 12 months = 360 months
CMS needs in 2014: 9,615 each person < 4% in 30y
our time is limited !
• Seneca: it is not little time we have, but rather much time which we do not use
Use your time as efficient as possible
Kerstin Borras | Induction Session - Practicalities | 18h July 2014 | Page 32
Setting Goals Setting Goals
Goals are the basis for successful time management: Many ways lead to Rome, but some are definitely shorter
The slowest one, who keeps the goal in view, will always be faster than the one, who is going astray without goal
• Set your goals - professional and private targets
• Goals for the next 3 years
• Goals for this year
• Goals for the next 3-6 months
• The goals must be:
• realistic
• prioritized in higher A-, medium B-, lower C- Goals
• precisely defined: what should be achieved how and until when
• divided into measurable milestones
• Only goals which are written down are binding like a contract
• Same is true for successful time planning: write it down
• Ask yourself regularly: does this activity bring me closer to my goal?
Where do you want to go ?Which goals need to be achieved in long-term view ?Which ones in medium-term ? Which ones in short-term – immediately?
Kerstin Borras | Induction Session - Practicalities | 18h July 2014 | Page 33
Setting Priorities Setting Priorities
Plan your activities:
• Concentrate on activities with high value
• Categorize your work in
A: must, B: should, C: preferably be done today
• Allocate time, provide necessary tools and skills in advance
• Place each activity in a convenient time period
• Each day establish a list of activities with priorities:
• At the end of the day: note down what is left to be done and what adds to the list the next day
• Produce a list of tasks with priorities, put it down on your desk
• Start the next morning directly with the most important task and keep working until it is finished.
Kerstin Borras | Induction Session - Practicalities | 18h July 2014 | Page 34
Value Priorities Value Priorities
A-Tasks:
• highest importance
• 15% of all tasks
• 65% of success
B-Tasks:
• important
• 20% of all tasks
• 20% of success
C-Tasks:
• routine work
• 65% of all tasks
• 15% of success
Pareto‘s Law:
80% of the success arises from 20% of the activities,
80% of the work result only in 20% of the success
Secure 80% success with 20% work
Amount of Work Success

Get Organized Get Organized
Time Management Instruments:
• Must be always present, easy to use, systematic
• Time planning book, calendar, laboratory notebook … be creative
• Yellow Post-It (not around your screen ), smaller ones for reminders and one larger one for the list of the day and theme collections keep overview, sense of achievement when removing a Post-It for a finished task
• Monitor your results and achievements
• Daily check:
• What was finished ?
• What was left undone and why ?
• Which mis-happs appeared, why and what countermeasure ?
• Which deteriorations appeared ?
• Where was time wasted ?
• Conclusion for the next planning ?

Avoid Disorder Avoid Disorder
… and … what would you like to do tomorrow ?
Avoid a mess on your desk
and …
in your mind !
Kerstin Borras | Induction Session - Practicalities | 18h July 2014 | Page 38
Good to know and value Good to know and value
Helpful hints for the daily life:
• Avoid disorder:
• Chaos on the desk creates nervousness and the feeling of being buried below a mountain of work
• Sort paper & documents in colored envelops (priorities)
• Touch & work on a paper only once
• Goal-oriented and concentrated work:
• no multi-tasking
• Start with the most important work
• Avoid perfectionism: 80% gain from 20% effort
• Fight deteriorations: establish and use quiet times, plan discussions
• Use waiting times
• Take regular breaks, exercise your body & mind … everything that is good for your health is responsible time planning
• Do not get drawn by the flood of information and new surrounding, what counts is you and your goal.
