Time Management Techniques for Researchers and Scientists
In this blog post, we will cover the top 7 mistakes people make when it comes to time management in sales and marketing. Learn how you can avoid these common traps and dramatically increase your productivity!
Mistake 1: Not having a regimented schedule.
Mistake 2: Being disorganized.
Mistake 3: A lack of focus.
Mistake 4: Change their routine too frequently or too often go to different areas of the office.
Mistake 5: Not keeping an eye on the clock all day long.
Mistake 6: Not working when they are at their most productive (even if it's not during business hours).
Mistake 7: Over-checking things.
Now that we covered some common errors. two questions arise: How do you actually fix them? What should become of your workday to be productive?
I'll cover the first question in a second part of this article. For now, let's assume you've fixed everything else and that you're a productive and enthusiastic professional who can increase his productivity by 80% with only one change:
Shifting your hours to 12-hour workdays (something I will cover in my next article).
I tried this two months ago, and it worked great! I kept 9 hours at work, but only got 4-6 hours of uninterrupted work. There was no more need for distractions outside office.
Now, let's go back to the first question: How you should improve your time management and how you can become a productive professional with one change?
The answer is simple: Simplify your life by eliminating anything that distracts you while you're working on your most important tasks. By eliminating distractions, your productivity will skyrocket because all of the energy goes into focusing on activities that are crucial for your success (like sales or marketing).
If you're in marketing or sales, your most important goal is to generate as many leads as possible and convert those leads into paying customers. The best way to achieve this goal is by doing everything you can to increase your own productivity.
While some people think that the only way to be productive is by working long hours, this isn't the case.
The fact is that people who get their work done fast are better off than people who take a much longer time to complete their tasks even if they work for longer hours. Why? Because they can then focus on activities that are crucial for their success (like sales or marketing).
