Workplace Management Routines (2/7): Maintain a Time Management Diary


Keep a time management diary, tracking how and where you spend your time daily, weekly and monthly. 

• Every week review your diary, looking specifically at how you spent your time and how much of that time was quality time. 

• Look to see that the time you actually spent working is appropriately matched to the relative importance of the assignment or task. 

• Share your diary on a regular basis with your manager and/or mentor, soliciting their input on how to improve and maintain a greater level of focus and execution. 

• This diary can be separate or can be combined with a project plan log.
