Why do things take so long to arrange and do? I’ve almost finished putting together a short book on ’80 ways for doctors to manage their time’
Planning to have this as part of a product for sale on my web site in a bit. The trouble is, other little jobs take up time to do and things which at first seem quite straightforward take longer than expected. There are so many things that delay completing what you want to do. For me today it’s been a succession of phone calls when I’ve been hanging on waiting for an answer for ages; another succession of web sites when I got s far in finding out what I wanted to find when inexplicably I was off the appropriate page and had to start again with all the complicated log in procedures.
Of course, one of the most important things about managing time when you are at work, or moving towards retirement is to decide what you want to get done, then set a date or a time by when you want the task completed. Decide what might stop you doing it and work at removing any obstacles in the way, then just do it!
Just remember that even if you don’t do quite as much as you planned to do today, you are getting things done and you have done more than the person who didn’t even start!
