“15 Saves 60”.  In the pursuit of becoming more efficient in managing your business time, I have found no greater axiom than this; 15 minutes of planning saves 60 minutes of work. Embrace this concept, and I think you will quickly see gains in how much time each day, week and month you can dedicate to staying “strategic” instead of wondering, “Where did my day go??”

• A great place to start using “15 Saves 60” is in managing your daily business priorities
• Know plan exactly what “MUST” get done each day and plan your days accordingly.
• Use your electronic calendar (Outlook or Google) and put a recurring, every business day, 15-minute appointment (you can name that appointment, “priority review” or whatever you like):1. At the beginning of your day (before you “jump” into e-mail) and
  2. 15 minutes near day’s end (but not the very end, to avoid “running out of time”)

By “book-ending” your business day this way, you can enable yourself to stay on point and check your progress before your day ends.
