Implementing Time Management

     

We all need to evaluate how we spend our day. Are we productive? Can we delegate? Delegatian is .only effective when properly planned and careful consideration is given to selecting the person to whom the project is delegated. Every hour spent in effective planning saves three to four hours in execution, cursory analysis of the problem frequently leads to a hasty decision. If one can't, find the time to do it right, how he/she will ever find the time to do it over; inadequate planning and disorganization create the illusion of too little time.
