TGIF! Today is our final post on the subject of tricks to help manage time better. 8. Manage every minute — but maintain a balance. Sounds impossible, right? Well, nearly all high-powered entrepreneurs and businesspeople follow this precept. Virgin Group founder and chairman Richard Branson recently told Fast Company exercises every day, delegates day-to-day duties so he can concentrate on big ventures, jots down everything (on pen and paper), and aims to strike a balance in everything he does. “Manage the BlackBerry, don’t let it manage you,” he said. “I try to answer as many [emails] as I can, but I also believe that you need to speak to people. It can save you and them a lot of time.” 9. Focus Booster. This paid app ($2.99/month) follows the pomodoro principle, which relies on bursts of focus boosted by the removal of distractions to complete work in timed sessions followed by regular breaks to keep your mind fresh. The app’s timer follows a color technique that provides great visual cues to keep track of time. 10. Don’t waste time trying to remember passwords. If you’re smart, you’ve got different passwords for different accounts, to minimize the risk of intrusion or compromise. But once you’ve got all those new passwords, actually keeping track of them can seem impossible, which is where a strong password manager like LastPass or DashLane comes in. Never waste time resetting passwords (and losing track of them) again. At CMIT Solutions, we worry about IT so you have to. That means you can concentrate on doing your job and effectively manage your time while we take care of the tech issues.
