Why working more than 40 hours a week is a detriment to you and the business!?
Why it’s bad for you?
Take how much you get paid hourly and divide it by how many hours you work a week, it will be drastically lower for every extra hour you work weekly.
Why it’s bad for business?
If you can’t get your work done in 40 hours and then you are replaced, that new colleague is expecting to work 40 hours a week. Even if they work more, they will never reach your output if you work 60 hours a week.
The Goal!!
We need to do all our work within 40 hours and focus on the important things.
How you get there:
Make meetings shorter
If the meetings are 30 minutes, make it 20 minutes
If the meetings are 60 minutes, make it 45 minutes
Doing this for every meeting you have can give you a few hours a week
Don’t stay at work longer than 8 hours!
Make to-do lists! Prioritize important work and delegate the rest!
Only do what you can do! (This means, that if someone else can do it and they are free, let them do it. Do what you are paid for and what you only can do.)
Make your meetings conform to YOUR schedule
It’s ok to reply to emails the next day.
Teach people how to do their jobs right, don’t do it for them.
