QUESTION OF THE DAY

Back to Calendar

We plan and prioritize WHAT to do, but pay little attention to HOW we spend our time doing it.

Now more than ever (especially with remote working) it is important to start tracking your work time. It may feel as if organizing ourselves is an immense burden in the creative process, but in a world of distractions, if you do not pay attention to where you spend your time, you will not be nearly so successful or effective.

Because our work process is happening so fast and we are switching between actions so frequently, we often cannot track what's going on and miss to connect all the dots that inhibit us from understanding our actions' true value.

Looking at the graphic above - do you know how you and your teams invest their time?
