With the average 40-year-old man having just 180,000 waking hours left to live, it’s important to make the best use of them. Here is a list of  top time management tips for you to apply…

• Prioritise your workload.

• Write a priority action list at the end of each day, ready for tomorrow.

• See the job through – don’t start, put it down and come back to it as it wastes time getting started again.

• Delegate wherever possible. Especially unimportant jobs.

• Hold efficient meetings. Consider if they are needed at all? Holding meetings standing up or on the phone will shorten them and avoid wasted chitchat.

• Say “NO” if you’re not the right person to ask.

• Put time aside when colleagues know you’re not to be interrupted each day.

• Don’t do everything to perfection. Being 100% perfect takes twice as long as 90% perfection, which is often good enough.

• Use call logging sheets, not scraps of paper, to record phone calls.

• Distinguish between urgent and non-urgent interruptions. Something that is important isn’t always urgent.
