Dotty Scott explains why time management fails: unclear priorities and mismatched expectations between employees and bosses. The fix is prioritizing important work, balancing urgent fires with proactive tasks, and organizing daily efforts toward your goals.
Why is it that we all struggle with time management? Well, I mean, there are, you know, there are a lot of things, but I think the biggest issue is that people are very unclear about what they should be doing. Some people are even unclear about what they want their employees to do if they have employees. I'll ask an employee and I'll ask their boss the same question. They have two different answers. So, you know, what's most important to get done, and then how do we divide that time up and make sure that we fix both the fires and get proactive and put all those things in a nice neat package so that when you go home at the end of the day, you know that you are working on things that'll take you to that next step to meet your goals.
