Managing time is one of the main problems of the Brazilian professionals. That´s what a research done this year with 484 people from August 2005 to April 2006 by SEC Talentos Human states.
Gisela Kassoy, a consultant specialized in developing the professionals´creative capacity to meet the company´s needs, explains that such result is not amazing. ‘There are too many things to be done. Who is not able to manage their time does not finish all the tasks required and do not perform the proactive activities, those ones that really matter but have not been requested.’, says Gisela, who is a consultant for pharmaceutical laboratories, like Bayer and Wyeth.
The consultant gives you some hints on how to manage your time properly:
- Have a list with all the activities that must be done. Start by the most important ones;
- Know how to tell the urgent and the important ones apart;
- Try to have specific moments of the day for each kind of task, such as the creative ones and routine work;
- Avoid putting the fire out because you didn´t have time to prevent yourself from it.
