Analyzing Time
Estimating Value
To find out the cost of each minute of your time, multiply your
annual salary by 1.5- to include overheads- and divide the total
by the number of working hours in a year (working hours per week
time's working weeks per year). Divide this total by 60.
1.5 * Annual salary/Working hours per week = Cost per hr
Cost per hour/60 = Cost per minute
Note:
Think through your day while making your way to work
Always delegate tasks which are not time-effective for you to do
C) Keeping A Time Log
Maintaining a daily log of how much time you spend on particular
activities is fundamental to managing your time more
effectively. You may be surprised at how much time you spend
chatting, and how little time you spend working and planning.
Your time log provides you with a starting point form which you
can assess areas to improve. How long you should keep a time log
is dependant on the nature of your work. If you work on a
monthly cycle, keep the log for a couple of months. If your work
cycle is weekly, a two- or three-week log should suffice.
Timing Tasks
Compile a simple time log by dividing your day into 30-minute
chunks and recording exactly how you spend your time. This will
help you determine how much time you spend on useful and
unnecessary tasks.
D) Reviewing A Time Log
To analyze your time log, allocate all of the 30-minute time
chunks that you have recorded into categories according to the
nature of each task, such as meetings, reading and replying to
mail, helping colleagues, or making phone calls. Now calculate
the percentage of your time spent on each task. This will give
you a better picture of your working day and will enable you to
access how you can allocate your time more affectively.
E) Breaking Down Tasks
Look at the categories into which you have allocated your tasks,
and divide them into groups: routine tasks (for example, writing
a regular report), ongoing projects (for example, organizing a
meeting), and
tasks that would further develop your job (for
example, making new contacts). Work out the percentage of time
spent on each group.
Allocating Time
To be most effective in your job, you should:
Spend about 60 per cent of your time in planning and development
25 per cent of your time in ongoing projects
15 per cent of your time in routine tasks
In fact most people allocate their time in exactly the opposite
proportions.
F) Looking For Patterns
Now that you have established how your time is being allocated,
ask yourself if the breakdown meets your expectations of your
working day. Are you spending too much time on routine tasks,
rather than concentration on the important planning and
development tasks? Look at the distribution of these tasks
throughout your working day. Are there times when you are really
busy and others when you are slack? If so, try to find ways to
reorganize your working day so that you are able to work more
consistently and efficiently, and achieve more.
G) Estimating Efficiency
How close is your work pattern to the idle 60:25:15 time
distribution shown on facing page? If you find you are spending
too much time on one group of tasks to the detriment of others,
work out how you can reorganize your daily schedule so that your
time is distributed more sufficiently. For example, if you find
you are spending time on tasks that could easily be done by a
junior, delegate them. This way you can concentrate your
energies on the areas in which you are not spending enough time.
Questions To Ask Yourself
1) Do I do work that should be done by somebody else?
2) Are there patterns that repeat themselves in my time log? Am
I always involved in routine tasks in the morning?
3) Do jobs frequently take longer than I expect them too?
4) Do I have enough time to be creative and innovative?
