Take charge of your own time

The need for organizational management: Focus on the outcomes and performance of the entire organization, and make time to pay attention to the external world.

The need to handle personnel issues: coordination of interpersonal and work relationships, personnel decisions require a lot of time to think about

The need for innovation and change: The excessive demand for managers' time requires long-term commitment, and regular time should be set aside to communicate with knowledge workers.

Record time usage: Record the actual situation of time consumption, review regularly every month

Systematic time management:
1) Identify non-productive and time-wasting activities and remove them from the schedule, considering whether they contribute to the organization and work;
2) Determine if someone else can represent;
3) Managers are wasting other people's time;

Identify factors that waste time due to a lack of systems or foresight: identify recurring crises, prevent them in advance or design them as routine tasks, and handle them in a systematic and step-by-step manner.

Too many people can also lead to time wasted: if managers spend more than 1/10 of their time dealing with disputes and friction, then there are too many people.

Organizational deficiencies: manifested as too many meetings, spending more than 1/4 of the time; improper job structure

The information function is not perfect: or the way of expressing information is improper.

Knowing your time: Assess how much free time you have and set aside a considerable amount of continuous blocks of time.

Set aside free time: work from home for a day; concentrate on routine work for a day; set aside a period of time to handle major affairs.

Continuously record the time and analyze it, set a deadline for important activities according to the amount of available time.
