I will bet you have a “To Do” list. I will also bet you do not have a “Stop Doing” list. Why not? Focusing on stopping time wasters has many obvious benefits. I would be interested in your ideas on techniques to manage your “Stop Doing” list.
I have written an article on my top 10 items to help with my “Stop Doing” list. They are:
1. Keep track of what you are doing in a colorful way.
2. Delegate more.
3. Finish things.
4. Brainstorm time traps.
5. Create a “Sacred Cow Pasture”
6. Zero based time utilization.
7. Handle time like a budget.
8. Reward people who identify things to stop doing.
9. Go on a “safari” to kill at least 3 time wasters.
10. Go away!
