🕰️ Time & Focus Power-Ups: Supercharge Your Productivity 🎯

Unlock the secrets to effective time management and laser-sharp focus

💡 Purposeful Prioritization

• 🔍 Define the core vision you want to work on and break it down: For a focused vision, you have to choose your travel destination. Start with WHY. Break down your core vision to manageable subtasks.

• 📝 Break down your core vision to manageable subtasks: Once you have defined your core vision, break it down into smaller, more manageable subtasks. This will help you focus on specific goals and objectives, and make progress towards your larger vision.

• ⏰ The best time possible to do this is NOW: Don't wait for the perfect moment to start working towards your core vision. Start taking action now, even if it's just a small step forward. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be able to make progress towards your goals.

🧘 Build Balance

• 👀 Recognize that unexpected events will arise and be willing to adjust your schedule and priorities as needed.

• 🔁 A flexible approach will allow you to remain focused and productive, even in challenging situations.

• 📊 Build flexibility around your core critical path:

• 🗓️ Use meeting time frames (e.g. past midday)

• 🏢 Office times (specify office times where people may contact you)

• 📱 Train people to use only specific communication channels and time frames to contact you.

• ⏰ Keep Focus Time

🔧 Streamlined Systems

• 🔍 Try to find for yourself what the biggest time and focus wastes are and optimize them.

to remove distractions.
• 👣 Even better it is to lay "breadcrumbs" in order to organically lead yourself to things you should prioritize. (pin important chat windows, favorize folders you need most control of, prioritize emails from specific contacts, etc.)
• 🔄 It is easier to change a system than to change a human being.

👥 Delegation Development

• 🙏 Trust your team members and delegate tasks where appropriate. (deep dive on the next slides)
• 🕰️ This will help you free up time and focus on your most important responsibilities.
• 🚀 Leave people to explore and learn for themselves even if they may make errors. Oftentimes that is the best way to learn and develop their skills. This will help your team members become more independent and able to tackle challenges on their own.
• 💡 Teach people core principles instead of explaining things every time how you would do things.
• 🤔 Encourage them to think critically and make decisions on their own.

🔀 Delegation Development – How to delegate?

• 🤝 Establish regular check-ins: Schedule regular check-ins to monitor progress and provide feedback. This will help you stay informed about how the person is progressing, and give them an opportunity to ask questions or raise concerns.
• 👀 Trust but verify: While you want to give the person the autonomy to complete the task, it's important to periodically check in and ensure that they are on track. This will help you catch any issues early on and make adjustments as necessary.
