Are You Wasting Your Precious Time?

“Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.” ~ Peter Drucker

Today’s Challenge: Is there a duplication of efforts in the practice? A job that two people might be seeking to accomplish? As I worked with some practices this month in establishing systems ‘manuals’ for their role, it was amazing how different positions in the practices are realizing they are doing the same thing. If you don’t know, journal your day and write out a role ‘description’, sharing with your team the tasks that you strive to accomplish each day. Don’t get me wrong – there should be cross-training and support in these systems – that’s not what I’m talking about here. You want to identify time-wasters.
