Time Management Tips - 3 Questions to Supercharge Your Productivity

Time management strategies, which are really guidelines to rethinking your time choices, are powerful tools for meeting daily challenges. Dissatisfaction over how you use your time can motivate you to fine-tune your time choices.

Start by reviewing what felt unsatisfying to you yesterday. Be as specific as possible, jotting down a few key words to refer to. Then zero in on what techniques will lead to greater satisfaction and energy, using these 3 questions.

1. Do you set clear objectives or an agenda at the beginning of the day?

If not, you will benefit dramatically by adding intentionality into your life. Values clarification enables you to set daily, reachable goals. Then day-by-day, you learn what is satisfying. This is no small achievement! Become an expert on your happiness with daily experiments, and use this as a cornerstone for productive time choices.

Just as important, by setting clear objectives daily, you will learn over time what you can realistically accomplish. By setting reachable objectives that challenge you to stretch, you experience life more intensely. This magnifies your pleasure in the moment.

2. Do you delegate power to those who could not or would not fulfill your expectations?

If so, you can multiply your effectiveness and improve your relationships by developing effective delegation strategies. Taking time to refine how to choose and train others to succeed at the tasks you delegate will yield immediate gains.

This process enhances trust, morale, confidence and creative collaboration. And as you open to this flow, gratitude and enthusiasm 'stretch' your energy and time.

3. Do you work on the assumption that today will follow yesterday's course, and then feel thrown by unexpected events?

If so, you will be able to gain resilience by building more flexibility into your objectives to withstand sudden change.

An additional side benefit to anticipating change is that your alertness increases. This skill strengthens with practice, and so, too, does your confidence. As curiosity replaces fear, you will experience more zest and vitality. No magic makes days run smoothly or like any other day you've ever experienced. However, your potential to enhance your possibilities is limitless. This is better than magic, because the power is all yours.

Of course, this doesn't happen automatically. But if you consistently use these suggestions to make new time choices, you will successfully supercharge your day.

Now, ask yourself: What is the next step you can take to create time choices that transform your time?
