#102 - Five Tips for Saving Time and Getting The Right Things Done
Show Notes

Everyone wants to save time, and everyone has too much to do! Are you looking for better ways to save time and get more done? I’ve found the secret is really more to do with finding focused ways to get the right things done. Listen to hear my five favorite time saving tips you can apply to all areas of your life.

In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:

  • How priorities, scheduling, and an approach so easy (but few people actually do it!)
  • Time blocking, efficiency, and how to ignore most of what’s competing for your attention
  • The real secret to “doing all the things” 

Today I outline my top five tips to not only save you time, but to make better use of your time. These tips are probably things you hear all the time but today I challenge you to think about them a little differently and to apply them how I have described - even if you think it won’t work for you.
