E.BY USING SOME COMBINATION OF THE FOLLOWING, YOU CAN FREE UP AN HOUR OR MORE A DAY.FIND THE ONES THAT WORK FOR YOU (NOT ALL WILL WORK FOR EVERYONE), AND THEN CARVE OUT THAT HOUR A DAY.THEN MAKE SURE YOU USE THAT EXTRA HOUR A DAY IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE—BOOK THAT HOUR ON YOUR CALENDAR FOR SOMETHING YOU REALLY, REALLY WANT TO DO, WHETHER THAT"S WORK ON A GOAL, WRITE A BOOK, START A BUSINESS, EXERCISE, READ MORE, OR WHATEVER.DON"T SQUANDER THIS GIFT OF TIME! 【A1】______ WHETHER IT"S EXERCISE OR WORKING ON SOME OTHER GOAL, MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO DO IT RIGHT WHEN YOU GET OUT OF WORK (AT 5 P.
M., FOR EXAMPLE).THIS WORKS ESPECIALLY WELL IF YOU HAVE TO MEET SOMEONE ELSE, SUCH AS A WORKOUT PARTNER OR OTHER GROUP OR TEAM OR COACH OR PARTNER, YOU"LL BE SURE TO MEET THE APPOINTMENT, WHICH MEANS YOU WON"T STICK AROUND WORK TOO LONG, AND YOU"LL BE SURE TO FINISH ALL YOUR TASKS ON TIME SO YOU CAN LEAVE ON TIM
E.THIS MAKES YOU MORE EFFICIENT IN THE AFTERNOON ESPECIALLY. 【A2】______ I"M NOT SAYING THESE TYPES OF INSTANT COMMUNICATION DON"T HAVE THEIR USES, BUT IF THEY"RE ALWAYS ON AND YOU"RE ALWAYS AVAILABLE, YOU"RE ALWAYS AT THE MERCY OF OTHERS. IN-STEAD, JUST MAKE YOURSELF AVAILABLE AT SET TIMES IF NECESSARY, OR NOT AT ALL IF IT"S NOT NECESSARY.YOU DON"T HAVE TO TURN OFF PHONES ALL DAY LONG, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME UNBROKEN BLOCKS OF TIME WHEN YOU DON"T TAKE CALLS, SO YOU CAN CONCENTRATE ON YOUR IMPORTANT TASKS.THIS ALLOWS YOU TO GET MORE DONE IN LESS TIME, AS PHONE CALLS CAN EAT UP CHUNKS OF YOUR DAY IF YOU LET THE

G.WITH QUICKSILVER ON THE MAC, EVERY FILE IS WITHIN A FEW KEYSTROKES.WITH GMAIL, EVERY EMAIL IS ACCESSIBLE INSTANTLY.NO TIME SPENT FILING! 【A4】______ WHAT IS IT THAT YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO EACH DAY? I MEAN, THE STUFF YOU HAVE TO DO OR YOUR JOB WOULD FALL APART IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, A LOT OF THE TASKS YOU DO EACH DAY (AND PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS, MENTIONED ABOVE, ARE INCLUDED IN THESE TASKS) DON"T REALLY NEED TO BE DONE EACH DAY.SOMETIMES YOU CAN DO THEM LESS OFTEN, SOMETIMES YOU DON"T NEED TO DO THEM AT ALL.IF YOU CAN LEARN TO FOCUS ON YOUR CORE ACTIVITIES, YOU CAN GET YOUR WORK DONE IN LESS TIM
E. 【A5】______ ONE OF THE BIGGEST GROUPS OF TIME EATERS IS REQUESTS FROM OTHER PEOPL
E.ALL DAY LONG WE GET REQUESTS, IN PERSON, ON THE PHONE, IN EMAIL, THROUGH PAPERWOR
K.MEETINGS, ASSIGNMENTS, REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION, REQUESTS TO BE ON A COMMITTEE OR TEA
M...THESE ARE ALL REQUESTS THAT WILL EAT UP YOUR TIM

M.THESE ELEMENTS ARE ALWAYS ESSENTIAL TO A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS, BUT THEY ARE OF EVEN GREATER VALUE AT TIMES OF ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY.BELOW ARE SOME TIPS ON HOW TO ENCOURAGE YOUR COLLEAGUES TO MAKE MORE CREATIVE DECISIONS AND INSPIRED JUDGEMENTS. 【A1】______ TO ENABLE TRULY CREATIVE SOLUTIONS, YOU MUST FIRST ENSURE THAT YOUR TEAM HAS A COLLECTIVELY OPEN MIND TO THE POSSIBILITIES THAT LAY OUT THER
E.ALL TOO OFTEN, TEAMS CAN GET TRAPPED WITHIN CURRENT COMPANY MENTALITIES, OUTLOOKS AND CULTURE, AND THIS CAN IMPEDE INNOVATIVE IDEAS FROM SURFACIN
G.TRY AND CREATE A SITUATION WHEREBY EXISTING THINKING IS PLACED ON HOLD, BY USING A FEW GAMES (WORD ASSOCIATION IS A POPULAR CHOICE) TO FREE PEOPLE"S MINDS UP FROM THEIR NORMAL THINKING PATTERNS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SESSIO

E.IT CAN THEREFORE BE HELPFUL TO DEVELOP AN ENVIRONMENT—EITHER WITHIN THE ENTIRE OFFICE OR WITHIN A SEGMENT OF IT THAT IS CONDUCIVE TO FREE THINKIN
G.IN THIS WAY, YOU CAN PSYCHOLOGICALLY REMOVE YOUR COLLEAGUES FROM THEIR EXISTING ROLES AND GET THEM TO CONCENTRATE ON LESS RIGID, MORE CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO YOUR COMPANY"S COMMERCIAL CHALLENGES. 【A3】______ CREATIVITY IS THE ABILITY TO APPROACH ANY SUBJECT MATTER WITH FRESH PERSPECTIVES AND CREATE REVOLUTIONARY IDEAS WITHIN IT THAT DID NOT EXIST BEFOR
E.AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR SESSION, TRY TO ALLOW AS MANY DIFFERENT VOICES WITHIN THE TEAM TO BE HEARD AND DO NOT DISMISS ANY I-DEA AT THIS STAGE, NO MATTER HOW LUDICROUS IT MAY SOUN
