In fact,
on average, the workers who were trained saved six hours of desk
work and two hours of meeting time each week.
So what’s the secret to these massive time savings?
The researchers trained everyone to analyze their tasks to see if they could:
•
Drop: What items can I drop? What can I stop doing entirely?
•
Delegate: What items can I delegate to a subordinate? What can
I outsource?
•
Redesign: What
do I need to continue doing, but do it in a new,
time-efficient way?
To put this into practice, make a list of all the tasks and meetings you worked
on during the previous week and follow these steps:
1.
Ask, “
How valuable is this task to me or to the company?
What would happen if I just dropped it completely?”
2.
Ask, “
Am I the only person who could do this task? Who else
in or outside the company could accomplish this?”
3.
Ask, “
How can the same outcome be achieved but with a
faster process? How could this task
get completed if I only had
half the time?”
Those three questions will give you the data you need to identify the tasks
that are of low value and should be targeted to Drop, Delegate, Redesign.
