Prepare Your Diary for 2014
So how has it been back at work… assuming you had time off? Have you rushed headlong back into it all?
Before you plough in to the New Year, take time to prepare your diary, PDA, online calendar, whatever you use.
Make sure you know what time you actually have to progress your projects, your fee earning, your marketing, your networking and most importantly your life…
Block off the time for:
- Bank holidays
- Your holidays, school holidays etc. You might not know the exact dates but consider blocking out days or weeks when you have been on holiday before. If you take 4 weeks off, block out that time.
- Personal days such as birthdays (I try not to work on mine, a sign of aging … I used not to work on the day after, now I know I don’t usually need to take the following day off but I digress.)
- All known business events such as networking, training, conferences.
- Consider blocking out time for business development e.g. one day a week for marketing or reading business books.
- Me time. Make sure you mark out time for yourself. A massage, an exhibition, time to read books
Now you have a real idea of the time left for what you would like to do and what needs to be done.
