As management consultants we usually advise on businesses. In this post we share a few habits that help leaders and teams manage their time and get more done each day:
- Prioritise: list your tasks and do the most important first.
- Work in focused intervals: use the Pomodoro technique, 25 minutes of work followed by a 5-minute break.
- Remove distractions: close unnecessary tabs and apps, and silence your phone.
- Take regular breaks: short pauses keep you productive over the whole day.
- Apply the 80/20 rule: focus on the 20% of tasks that deliver 80% of results.
- Automate repetitive work: use tools, ERP workflows and AI assistants to save time.
- Organise your workspace: a tidy workspace improves focus.
- Learn to say no: decline non-essential commitments to protect time for what matters.
