Work, children, yoga, swimming, Spanish and any arrears in the cinema. How is this possible? After all, their day is also just 24 hours. Champions dominate sometimes betray us with their tricks.
Thin, energetic. The cafe is entering a rapid pace. We meet at lunchtime, because at another time Monika Constant, Director General of the French Chamber of Commerce, have found no time. During our conversation takes a few phone calls. "It's a friend. We are trying to arrange a dinner on Saturday, "he laughs. Combines management of the company with running the house and tries not to forget about their own pleasures. Female cyborg? Ladies terminator? No, just well mastered the art of time management. And it's not as difficult as it might seem. A good plan is the basis for perfect organization. "I always do before the end of the week list of the framework for the next course," reveals another time management's Queen Anne Books, brand marketing manager in dealing with international corporations. "There are business, but also meeting with colleagues, or release dates. Anna every morning updates the list of cases. If there is something, moves other things the next day. Good plan, plus skillful juggling tasks allows her to have time at the gym, running, yoga, books and movies. In his book Anna has an annual calendar in pencil only. "When something I have to move, erase eraser," praises his method. However it is not important whether you choose traditional methods or modern gadgets. It is important to save everything when planning differently. "I trust electronics," betrays, until recently director of marketing and communications there managed offices in 14 countries!, Now a journalist and writer of projects promoting and supporting women entrepreneurs. Privately with the wife and mother of five senior three-year son. "As I note in Outlook calendar reminders and a meeting of which I am informed by e-mail and telephone, which I am always with you, write down everything. The phone also I set reminders, "he says. Thus, not only do not forget about important things, but also usually strives ahead of time. Indeed, its motto is: "Never in the course." "I like to finish projects ahead of schedule. This gives me time to look at the outcome and make changes, "explains. Time in the calendar always seems to be much more than real. How do I stop this? Check which tasks you can perform for someone else long believed that everything must be done alone, because nobody does it better. "When I was pregnant during the first few weeks of release, I realized that in my absence from work everything works. Then I got that it is better to delegate tasks, than do more and have a sense of guilt that does not address the child or doing something inaccurately, "he recalls. Was then deputy head of the French Chamber of Commerce. When last year announced a contest for a new director, again, was on maternity. However, won a contest. And then he began to organize a true test of time. Rise came at a time when to carry out to Warsaw and took care of his grandmother in another city. Less than four years when Fields took vacation, and little Hector was only finished half a year. "No man would give no advice. And without a whole team of people who help me, even a great nanny, "she admits. "The easiest way is to scatter, checking every now and then e-mails,", but I wonder why we never figured it did not. It's that simple! Olga has a history of not only work in corporations, but also a time management course. At the learned that you check your mail every few minutes late to work. "So I check e-mails after coming to office, I answer the most important and after a few hours back to them on one or two quarters. It's really easy to work, "he says -time work does not write off the SMS messages from friends, rarely receiving their phones. "I care to separate business from personal time. To avoid traffic jams come from a suburban railway work, and then I call to your friends, "he says. This allows her to spend evenings only family. Here too not let anything on the element. "In the evening we insert laundry at night, prepare clothes for the morning, cook dinner for the next day. This allows time to come to work to put children to sleep is only for the family. For us, it is very important, "says Monika. To work efficiently, you must also effectively relax. Tempering planning on leaving the job is a mistake. "Surfing the Internet, or changing the channel on the TV eats hours, which could be used for pleasure," five times a week running after work on the that pressure away from the fitness classes. "To be back home with a light head and I have before me a whole evening. And so much energy that even I do not have the temptation to lie idly on the couch. " Queens of management's time also remember that a well-planned vacation. "Someone said that the holidays are like a marketing event. The better you schedule it, the better the fun, ". It was only last year managed to go on vacation without a laptop and turn off the cell. Anna Book is more accustomed. Years planning trips in December. "When I do New Year's resolutions, I wonder where I would go. I was already in Peru, Bolivia, Mexico, Ethiopia, and the 2010 plan an expedition to Patagonia, "he says. It is not, of course, to ride so far, but that plan. Objective mobilizes for action. "When we planned to radically change their lives and become a journalist I created a kind of personal business plan, step by step to achieve its objectives," . "Because I think it is helpful affirmations I wrote the above the bed: I have a program on the radio - and I looked at the inscription each time you woke up and fell asleep. It worked - since September 2008, the lead Success written in lipstick on Radio PIN. Olga is now during talks with one of the key television stations. And what words hanging in her bedroom? Of course I have a program on TV! And you, do already, you write on your bed? "Colleagues, and often complain that they must clean apartment, and pity them for this time. I tell them that leased the cleaning lady - earn well and get them on it, and thereby gain time, which can be used for work or pleasure, ". Each of us has the same hours every day for survival. So how did it happen that you are perpetually late to everything, and some women can in 24 hours not only to climb the career ladder, but also child care and house keeping? And this is a time to relax and nurture their passion. |
