Matt Krumrie introduces Tom Gegax’s time-management principles which suitable to managers . Gegax bases his time-management principles on the “six D’s”: don’t do it, delay it, deflect it, delegate it, do it imperfectly and do it. Matt also shares Laura Stack’s caution on multitasking, especially managers who has many tasks at hand, which may prevent you to get things completed. For instance, many seemingly urgent tasks disappear if you don’t do them or delay them, he says, leaving you more time and energy to focus on the tasks that matter.
