SMART: Specific What exactly needs to be achieved
Clear and unambiguous
Outputs or outcomes against which successful completion can be determined
Who, What, Where, When, Which, Why and How
S M A R T

SMART: Measurable An action plan is no good if it can’t be measured
Measuring the results/ output
Quantity and quality of work expected
Milestones to indicate progress
MS A R T

SMART: Achievable Being reasonable – ask yourself is my plan achievable or
I am planning unrealistically?
Pushes and stretches, but does not break
Is realistic and attainable
Don’t make "Can Barely Finish" plans, make completely achievable plans
Consider your current situation and then plan your activities
AS M R T

SMART: Relevant Meaningful/ important to you
Fits in the larger scheme of things you have in mind
Can be achieved with available resources, knowledge and time
You are willing and able to act
Is not unrealistic and unrelated

SMART: Time-bound Anchored on a time frame—otherwise there is no
urgency in accomplishing it
Every activity that you plan must be time-sensitive in nature
Not too much time, not too little time – enough to complete the task
Not having a time element attached to your plan breeds procrastination
Calculate the time to be taken to accomplish a task, precisely
Set deadlines and achieve your plans within the stipulated time

Urgent-Important MatrixTo determine important-urgent, answer ‘Because’ ‘By’
‘Why’….
• This task is important-urgent because….
• It needs to be done by…
• The reason why it is needed is…
Urgent tasks have inflexible immediate deadlines driven by others
Important tasks have flexible deadlines and are self accomplished
Importance of tasks determine how much time should be spent on them
![Page 23: Time Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050714/55aa857e1a28aba8358b46e4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Urgent-Important MatrixImportant/ Urgent Tasks
• Must be done first
• Unforeseen emergencies and deadlines
• Cushion time for such tasks when planning your day
Important/ Less Urgent Tasks
• Planned and thought through
• Information must be collected to enable performance
• Let it not turn into an ‘urgent’ task and thus a situation of crisis
![Page 24: Time Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050714/55aa857e1a28aba8358b46e4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Urgent-Important MatrixLess Important/ Urgent Tasks
• Urgent doesn’t mean ‘now’, they mean today at some point
• Ask questions to help prioritize and position the task during the day
• Put these tasks into your ‘to do’ list to remind you to do at an appropriate time
Less Important/ Less Urgent Tasks
• Can be carried over to the next day or to their deadline date
• Slate them to be completed when a suitable ‘hole in the day’ arises
![Page 25: Time Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050714/55aa857e1a28aba8358b46e4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Managing Time

Managing time is creatively utilizing time in the most effective and productive way possible
It is a non-renewable limited resource … you cannot ‘make’ time but surely can ‘find’ time
![Page 27: Time Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050714/55aa857e1a28aba8358b46e4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Absence of Time ManagementLast minute rushes to meet deadlines
Days which seem somehow to slip unproductively
Crises which loom unexpectedly from nowhere
Days full with action from dawn till dusk – ‘all time busy’
Stress and degradation of performance
![Page 28: Time Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050714/55aa857e1a28aba8358b46e4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Managing Time Helps in…Being more in control of what you do
Being more productive
Giving yourself more ‘quality time’
Avoiding stress and last minute pressures
Not being always overloaded

![Page 35: Time Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050714/55aa857e1a28aba8358b46e4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Beating ProcrastinationIt is when you put off tasks that should be done in the
present
It is living in the future -- an eternal postponing “Manyana Syndrome”
Why do you procrastinate?
• Inability to concentrate
• Fear of imperfection
• Priority confusion
• Laziness
• Not motivated enough
![Page 36: Time Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050714/55aa857e1a28aba8358b46e4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Beating ProcrastinationAccept that you are procrastinating
Visualize the end from the beginning
Find ways to like your task
Breaking the task into smaller parts and doing it one step at a time
Rewarding yourself at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of your job
Creative action
![Page 37: Time Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050714/55aa857e1a28aba8358b46e4/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Managing InterruptionsRecognize office interruptions –
• Boss/ subordinates/ colleagues
• Clients/ customers
• Telephone/ mobile
• E-mails
![Page 38: Time Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050714/55aa857e1a28aba8358b46e4/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Managing InterruptionsWhen you’re interrupted, ask yourself : ‘What’s more
important, the interruption or what I’m working on?’
Be assertive
Continue to look busy
Try to keep the interruption short
Plan a quiet hour
Invent a deadline
![Page 39: Time Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050714/55aa857e1a28aba8358b46e4/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Saying “NO”Don’t say ‘yes’ to regret it later when you should have
said ‘no’
Refrain from being a people pleaser
Remind yourself “You can’t do everything”
Don’t undertake things you can’t complete
Be direct
Remain calm
Maintain eye contact
You say ‘no’ to a request, not to a person
![Page 40: Time Management](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050714/55aa857e1a28aba8358b46e4/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Listen carefully to each instruction given
Ask clarifying questions

Using Daily Planner
Block out times on the daily planner for each of the
major activities
Start with recurring activities that occur at a fixed time
Then block out time for activities that you want to do
on a regular basis
Allot ample time for each activity, especially high
priority activities
Take into account when you are most effective
Plan for morning people and night owls
