Time Management

Time Management

Time Management was the name of a training course I got some years ago while working for 3 at the UK. The basic idea is to plan your time ahead in order not to get someone else to do it for you. It’s to avoid inefficient use of the time, to avoid your time being stolen by other people. Watch out my friend! It’s more efficient if you organize activities and you fill your own calendar ahead saying WHAT are you going to do, WHEN and for HOW LONG.
These days, as you know, so busy with my job, MBA, the Venture Lab, Ally… :-) Time Management is fundamental! You feel all the time that you have NO time, but reality is you have it but you have to use it efficiently.
Take as an example all the stuff I’ve done this week (since my last blog entry):
- 40 hours at work (Monday-Friday)
- 12 hours at the MBA (Monday-Wednesday)
- dinner “tapas” with friends (Wednesday and Thursday Night)
- interview with Alcatel-Lucent Human Resources
- interview at Bravo Murillo with the Director of a Domotic Company
- get my CV updated both in Spanish and English
- Get my hair cut
- progress Venture Lab project (writing the Market Research Document)
- picking Eva up at the train station
- motorbike trip to IKEA at Alcobendas to buy an office-table plus chair
-going out on Friday night (tapas)
- Get my hand-watch repaired
- some engineering work to get the office-table plus chair built on Saturday morning
- half an hour running across “El Retiro”
- plan Easter and buy train tickets
- Write a 12 pages presentation about Marketing Strategy for Milka
- MBA studying and reading, more than 100 pages! (Strategy II (United Latex), Finance (Economic Ships Corporation), Operations (Benihana), Information Systems (“Harley-Davidson Project”)
and of course…
… apart of other things I can't mention in public... write this Blog entry!
