Volunteers what did you find difficult?

Observers what advice do you have for volunteers?

12

IT GETS IN THE WAY

Sometimes people have difficulty managing time,

even when they have learned time management

techniques, because they are thwarted by their own

behaviors.

13

What hinders time management?

o Turning down requests for help

o Seeking approval

o Planning ahead

o Procrastination

o Asking for help

o Delegating tasks

Below is a list of behaviors that can impede the successful implementation of a well-intentioned time management program?

Which of these behaviors are a big problem, somewhat of a problem, or not a problem at all for you?

14

Time Management Facts

You can’t get your time back no matter how you spend it.

Time Management is changing habitual behavior. Research indicates that changing habitual behavior requires a person to practice a NEW HABIT for three consecutive weeks in order for it to become the new habit.

There are 24 hours in a day and 168 in a week—NO MORE!!!

15 minutes a day is the equivalent of 2 weeks in a year.

60 minutes a day is the equivalent of 2 months in a year.

15

Misconceptions

Time management is nothing but common sense. I’m doing well at my job, so I must be managing my time just

I work better under pressure; time management would take away that edge.

I use an appointment calendar and a “to do” list. Isn’t that enough?

Time management might be good for some kinds of work, but my job is very creative. I can’t be tired to a routine.

It’s a lot of work. I don’t have time to do all they teach.

Learning to say “NO”

Most people find it difficult to learn to say “no” on the job and with friends and acquaintances. Yet it is easy to do with family or oneself.

18

Why is it difficult to say “No”?

Fear of offending

Low self-esteem

Desire to win approval

False sense of obligation

Fear of retaliation

Need for recognition

19

Not Being Able To Say ‘No’ Can Lead To…

Spreading yourself too thin

Health problems

Decrease in quality performance

Being the “Fall Guy” for everyone else

20

Strategies For Saying “NO”

Say “no” first before expectations are developed, then explain.

Learn appropriate excuses.

The best excuse is commitment to your own priorities.

Give yourself time. Count to ten before saying “yes”.

Think of other ways to help without saying “yes”.

Say “yes” with limits.

Be consistent when you “no” and mean it!

Strive for respect and effectiveness rather than popularity.

Most “yes-sayers” have not learned to drop old roles. They know addition but not subtraction.*

You cannot achieve your priorities unless you learn to decline requests that do not contribute to the achievement of your goals.

21

List Making

1. Head a piece of paper “To Do”

2. List items on which you want to work. Add more as you think of them throughout the day.

3. Set priorities: Write an “A” to the left of those items on the list that have a high value; a “B” for those with medium value; and a “C” for those with low value.

4. Most people wrongly do “C” items first because they are easy and usually have a high chance of success.

The ABC prioritizing method should help you to avoid this. Don’t count on getting all the C’s “out of the way” so that then you will be free to do the A’s. Don’t kid yourself by completing the simple, reinforcing C’s. You are losing your time for the more important A’s.

10 Tips for Time Management

1. Make a list, prioritize and check things off as you get them done.

2. Review your list from time to time. Is everything on that list necessary?

3. Ask yourself, “What’s the best use of my time right now?” Then do it!

4. Be willing to sacrifice “perfection” to get things done.

5. Learn to say “no” to demands that don’t benefit you.

6. Whenever possible, delegate!

7. Don’t waste time on minor decisions.

8. Arrange your work time to keep interruptions to a minimum.

9. Be realistic about what you can accomplish during a given period.

10. When is your energy at its peak? Plan your work for those times and use your less energetic times for leisure or a nap.
