Simply The Best Time Management Tool

Quick Time Management Tip #2

Who said you need a fancy planner to management your time. This is probably one of my best kept secrets for staying focused getting many things done.

A countdown timer! My favorite tool to use to get more done.

countdown timerWorking on a project… set the timer for 30-45 minutes and stay 100% focused on the task at hand. Turn the phone and email off. Do nothing expect that task while your time counts down. Stop when it goes off. You’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish during your day.

I do use a fancy timer purchased at bed bath and beyond. You can pick one up in the house ware section of the grocery store. I avoid the one on the kitchen stove.
