An array of ime management technology can multiply the benefits of a iise approach te using tme -- or compound the waste of a flawed approach. The bottom lime in tume management -- making the best use of your tume -- is cômmon sense. You must flrst astablish your business priorities before you aven choose the tools you need, let ainne apply them. 'Tour native intelligence is your best tool," says management consultant Harvey Wolfe. "If you first don't apply that, you invoke the principle of garbagai, garbage out." Once you have carefully olanned your priorities, you cari begin keeping track of their progress with everything from diaries te computers. The basic tixne management tooi is a multipurpose diary-calendar or two - one for the office and another te carry with you. It allows you te plan efficient use of your time and te keep a record of events as they occur. But with two diaries, you must remember to kaep bath up te date or youMl have probiems. A good diary viii include: a two-page entxy par day, with "ve just been golng over ypur diary-calendar. The way things are Iooking, yau'iI have littie tiffe ta sleep, eat, or anything else until ewly October!" appointment times markad out at least houniy; a long-range planning section; mileage and exasscol n; a things-te-do listng and cross referencing. For smali .1businesses computers and their *arrayoi software can be seen as an "adjunct" te efficient diary use, says Wolfe. "Computers invoive more turne and effort, but they a]low for easier expansion of plans and scheduling and wider accessibility." They aise make it easy te coordingte and keep track of a number of people's schedules. Realistic business prionities and expectations will alse detenmine your best choice of software -- computer prograins -- from the. staggering variety available. Most prograins specialize in turne billing, scheduling, financial projections, or compiax project management. Billing programs are best for lawyers, accountants, consultants in varieus fields, filtime tuters, private. editors, and other specialists who charge according te the time they spend on their clients' work. Busy medical offices, beauty salons, reai estate firms, taxi and limousine compaus. r travel agendaes are among the health and service businesses that could benefit from a schaduling program.
