Great Time Management Tips
by Michael C. Dennis M.B.A., C.B.F.

These Time Management tips can be used in both business and personal situations:

Confirming payment commitments in writing will save time in the long term.
Use collection and deduction management software to make operations more effective and efficient.
Forget To-Do lists --- Create a Must-Do list.
Do not accept drop-in visit by vendors. Tell the vendor to call for an appointment
Don’t waste time with telephone solicitors. Use a quick brush-off such as this: “Thank you. We are not interested. Good bye.” Then hang up.
When a co-worker enters your office, stand up and remain standing until they leave.
Don’t be a slave to the phone; allow calls to go into voice mail when you are busy.
Forget about being a perfectionist.
Become comfortable at saying no.
Don’t over-commit.
Don’t procrastinate. Break big assignments into small steps.
Politely refuse to attend meetings at which your presence would be only marginally valuable.
Develop a plan and follow it.
Spend time planning and organizing; avoid the temptation to rush into an assignment.
Don’t wait for complete or perfect information to make a credit decision.
Remember that putting something off until the last moment can result in missed deadlines or unacceptably low quality.
Delegate as much work as possible.
