Time Management Tips with Julie Morgenstern

I recently saw Julie Morgenstern, author of “SHED Your Stuff, Change Your Life” and “Never Check E-mail In the Morning.” She did a great session on time management. Some of the tips I’m going to use from her are:

Don’t check your email first thing in the morning (I actually turned off my auto synchronize, and I have to manually “get mail” ~ this one simple change has probably added an hour a day in getting the important things done).
Start your day with things that are going to increase your revenues (or profit). Take this time to focus on a task that meets your long term goals.
Letting Go! You should either: Delete it, Delay it, Diminsih it, or Delegate it

For me the key is to focus your most effective time (first thing in the morning) on strategic goals. I also need to learn that I don’t need to do everything, I can delegate it!
