The Top 10 Time Termites and How to Exterminate Them
Copyright 2005 Anne Alexander
Did you know that "time termites" eat up as much as 25 - 50% of
your time? It's true, and in this article I'll discuss what a
time termite is, as well as what the top 10 time termites are,
and - most importantly! - how you can exterminate them and take
back a huge amount of your time and your life.
Time termites are activities and people that "eat up" your time
and destroy the beautiful design of your life. In my Time
Architect™ model of time management, we design a life that is
grounded solidly in the four cornerstones - physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual. We protect these areas by understanding
and applying the storm proofing principles.
Just like you design your home to withstand intruders (such as
termites), you must design your life to strongly protect against
the situations and people that will run right over you and eat
up your life - if you let them.
Let's look at the top ten time termites, based on my
unscientific experience with hundreds of clients.
1. Wasting time on trivial items - computer games, gossip, etc.
2. Waiting around to talk with the boss or manager 3. Meetings
without a good agenda and/or good facilitation 4. Too many
unnecessary reports to write 5. Problems in locating documents
or other needed items 6. Answering unimportant phone calls &
email 7. People with a negative attitude - complainers and
whiners 8. Inability to say "No." That is, saying "Yes" to too
many people 9. Interruptions 10. Add your own: What's your
biggest time termite?
Time termites vary depending on whether you work in a huge
Fortune 500 type business, or a small company or organization,
or are a solo entrepreneur, but these are a representation of
what steals most people's time.
As a business and executive coach I work with hundreds of high
achieving business owners and professionals. In my experience,
only a very energetic, intelligent and vigilant
approach will
work to protect your time.
Extermination tactics:
1. Values & vision: Get crystal clear on your personal values
and vision. You must know what matters most to you and where you
are going in order to be able to make choices that support the
best use of your time.
2. Planning: When you create annual, monthly, weekly and daily
goals, plan with your values and vision clearly in mind. This
way, you will focus in on your highest value activities.
3. Systems: Get good systems in place. Be able to find
immediately any information or tools you need in your business
or organization. These systems are highly individual. Feel free
to contact me for information on resources to help you get
organized.
4. Boundaries: Erect strong barriers around yourself - you can
think of this as a sturdy fence with an electronic gate around
your house (and life) that only grants access to those people
and activities that fit in with your priorities. This is a
challenge to anyone who likes to think of themselves as a "nice
person," which is many of us. It takes some practice to regroove
our neural pathways to hold a new belief that having boundaries
is not only OK, but downright healthy. (For more on strong
boundaries, contact me for an article that goes into more depth
on that topic.)
So get crystal clear on your values and vision, create a good
plan, install excellent systems, and erect strong boundaries.
When you implement just one of these suggestions each month, in
a year you will have 12 awesome new habits that will help you
take back 25-50% of your time...and your life. Congratulations:
your time termites will have been exterminated.
