“Looking to save hours in your day? Sometimes a small, daily practice makes all the difference.“
Effective project management does not need to take over your entire day. These quick, high-impact habits can save hours of work overtime:
- Morning Prioritization: Spend 5 minutes reviewing your daily to-do list, focusing on high-impact tasks first. This quick focus session helps prevent distractions from low-priority tasks. Studies show that working through the most difficult and important task first makes the rest of the tasks seem simple since starting is always the hard part.
- End-of-Day Review: Use another 5 minutes to document progress and note the next steps. This keeps continuity flowing so you, as a project manager, know what’s next and can ensure that the project team stays on top of its performance goals in a timely manner.
- Simplify Communication Channels: Decide which messages are worth an email versus a quick chat or task update. This minimizes information overload and frees up hours lost to redundant communication.
These simple habits save time, and by remaining consistent, they bring clarity and momentum to each project phase.
