Most of us don&#8217;t have that luxury with busy lives &amp; demanding bosses, we often struggle to manage our own time effectively \u00a0completing tasks quickly but not necessarily \u00a0efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>How often do you have to go back &amp; correct something you did in a rush ? Thinking you were being efficient only to waste more future time putting it right. Very soon we can end up chasing our own tails like deranged dogs.<\/p>\n<p>One way to improve our use of time is to think of it like money. The more effort put into completing a task &#8216;right first time&#8217; is like putting savings in a high interest account. You expend a little more effort immediately but don&#8217;t have to return to it later to correct errors. This frees up more &#8216;future time&#8217;. The alternative is like spending on a credit card. You want it now &amp; end up paying &#8216;through the nose&#8217; later.<\/p>\n<p>Get it &#8216;right first time&#8217; consistently &amp; over time you will spend more time contemplating &amp; less chasing your tail.<\/p>\n<p>chris@amberhill.biz<\/p>\n<p>www.amberhill.biz<\/p>\n\n<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\nvar addthis_pub = '';\nvar addthis_language = 'en';var addthis_options = 'email, favorites, digg, delicious, myspace, google, facebook, reddit, live, more';\n<\/script>\n<div class=\"addthis_container\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/bookmark.php?v=20\" onmouseover=\"return addthis_open(this, '', 'https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amberhill.biz%2Fblog%2F%3Fp%3D975', 'Time+IS+Money%26%238230%3B%26%238230%3B%26%238230%3B%26%238230%3B.')\" onmouseout=\"addthis_close()\" onclick=\"return addthis_sendto()\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/static\/btn\/lg-share-en.gif\" width=\"125\" height=\"16\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Bookmark and Share\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/s7.addthis.com\/js\/200\/addthis_widget.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Button END -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are loads of books offering advice on Time Management, some useful &amp; some trite like &#8216;we all have 24 hours in a day&#8217; which is great if you also have a host of assistants to do the menial chores &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/?p=975\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[117],"tags":[5,137,125,48,127,123,26],"class_list":["post-975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-quality","tag-pmot","tag-engineering","tag-innovation","tag-leadership","tag-lean","tag-project-management","tag-risk-management"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=975"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/975\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":977,"href":"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/975\/revisions\/977"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.amberhill.biz\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
