Don't waste travel time. One of the most valuable time-management tools is the tape recorder. When I'm driving, I speak into my recorder, dictating notes and reminders of things I have to do. Another great tool is the cell phone, which I use when I get a ride to my destination. In a one-hour commute, I can make between 15 and 30 calls, so I don't lose business or momentum.
Airplanes are also great opportunities.
Bring paper or a laptop and write letters, jot down ideas or set goals. It's also a good opportunity to catch up on reading. Get started immediately. Don Fink is a time-management master. His favorite tip involves eliminating procrastination.
