For every solopreneur or CEO, manager, worker bee that complains that they are drowned in stuff. You cant fix what you cant measure. Heres a simple thing to do, during the day or day end measure your effort vs roi across activities
1)Planned
2) Unplanned
3) Outside the box/1off

List down the things that you plan on doing during that day before hand or as they happen. For things just show up on your schedule, put them in the unplanned box, things that you think are out of the box/one offs capture them too. Do a day end Roi on the time u spent vs output

Do this for a few days a week, a month a few months. Patterns will emerge,you can now get to your benchmark state. What do you do most of the day? Why are 50% of the things unplanned? How many one offs are really one offs? Why are planned things not more structured.

There is no one right way of taking stock of your time and effort, but unless you start you cant fix your outcomes. We all think we have a handle on our time till we dont & if we dont plan it only gets worse over time, we all want to plan but don't have the commitment to capture.

Capturing helps us get in front of our issues faster. It helps us visualise our days, life's work flow if you will. A fool with a toll is still a fool. So learning & un-learning are key for better outcomes on time. @rebootdude @Huk06 @babushka99 @raza_matin @jehan_ara @Ash_Kalim
