Misconceptions about Time Management
“Time management is nothing but common sense.”
“I work best under pressure.” “I use an appointment calendar and a to-
do list. Isn’t that good enough?” “I’m a spontaneous person. Time
management will take all of the fun out of life.”
“I don’t have time to learn how to do all of this.”

The 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle)
Theory of predictable imbalance The relationship between input and output
is rarely, if ever, balanced. 20% of your efforts produce 80% of the
results.
Vaccaro, 2000
![Page 14: Time management 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070313/5549620ab4c905f24e8b5ad6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The 80/20 RuleWhere are you?
You’re in your 80% if you’re: Working on tasks other people want you to,
but have no investment in them Frequently working on tasks labeled “urgent” Spending time on tasks you’re not good at Complaining all of the time

The 80/20 RuleWhere are you?
You’re in your 20% if you’re: Engaged in activities that advance your
overall purpose in life Doing things you have always wanted to do or
that make you feel good about yourself Working on tasks you don’t like, but you’re
doing them know they related to the bigger picture

Implementing the 80/20 Rule
Read less. Identify the 20% of the journals you get that are most valuable.
Keep current. Make yourself aware of new technological innovations.
Remember the basics. Let your ethics and values guide your decision making, and you’re bound to end up focusing on your 20%.

Just say “no”
Why is it so hard? Most of us have been taught that “no” is
disrespectful and even insulting. We tend to value other people’s time more
highly than our own. We have a need to cooperate and a desire
to be liked. There are often unconscious concerns of
being thought of as lazy or selfish.
![Page 24: Time management 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070313/5549620ab4c905f24e8b5ad6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Just say “no”
How do you say it? “I can’t do it right now, but I can fit it in
later.” “I am not the best qualified person for that
job, how about asking…” “I just don’t have any room in my schedule
for the next few weeks.” “I can’t focus on that right now.”
![Page 25: Time management 1](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070313/5549620ab4c905f24e8b5ad6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Just say “no”
How do you say it? “I have made a commitment to complete
my current project/task ahead of any other.”
“Normally I would say yes, but I’ve had a few things come up unexpectedly and I have to deal with those first.”
“I would rather say no than end up doing a second rate job for you.”

Procrastination
There’s a recognizable pattern to procrastination.
There are ways to stop:1. Set meaningful goals.2. Don’t believe in magic.3. Make good choices.4. Deal with the unpleasant.
Do it. Don’t do it yet. Ditch it. Delegate it.
Vacarro, 1999
