Watch out for these top time wasters:
- Shifting of Priorities
- Lack of Direction/Objectives
- Interruptions
- Attempting too much
- Cluttered Desk/Losing things
- Procrastination
- Lack of Delegation
- Inability to say “NO”
- Meetings
Are any of these eating up your time? Just consider one at first and start working on improving. Being aware is the first step. Once you’ve improved, address the others.
