Time management studies allow us the advantage of spending our time wisely. The basics of conducting a time management study are quite simple in the least complex form. Basically most companies just employ a tracking sheet. On the sheet the majority of duties are listed at the bottom, but blank lines are listed for time slots. You would outline how much time you spent in each task, daily and then these number of hours would be tabulated weekly to see what patterns emerged.
Patterns are the key.
If you put on your time tracking chart an event or work duty that only occurs once per year then it is not representative how time really flows in your job or particular position or work place. Except that particular day of the year. If an activity takes you two hours then you show it as two hours. Or if a phone call took five minutes or fifteen minutes you would show those phone calls. Client came in without appointment to be seen on an important issue, unexpectedly.
