Most people waste time in similar ways. Some examples of common time-wasters are:
- Disorganisation
- Procrastination (leaving things to the last minute)
- The inability to say no
- Lack of interest
- Burn out (exhaustion from too much stress)
- Visitors and interruptions
- Telephone calls and emails
- Waiting
- Meetings
- Personal crises
You can identify your own time-wasters and write them down. Then think of ways to avoid these time-wasters.
