- 3 Tips on Dealing with Time
- Firstly, people don't start working on stuff until halfway until it's due
- For example, if your team has a 4-week deadline, then they won't start working on it in earnest in 2 weeks. So always cut your deadlines in half.
- Work both expands and contracts to fit the time allotted
- Secondly, imagine in your mind that the work involved to complete a task is much more than it is.
- For example, if you imagine a task is going to take 2 weeks, even though it's probably a 1-week task, then you will not feel as stressed when it takes less than 2 weeks
- Thirdly, always go first.
- For example, if you have to present during a conference, take the first slot (or the earliest slot you can), then once you are done, you can relax
