Manage Your Mindset on Behalf of Your Time

Last week we mentioned the most helpful question to ask when new tasks and responsibilities come up within your team:

is this urgent or is this important?

In fact, that question was posed earlier this year in a cohort we were coaching through The Engagement Blueprint. The question reinforced how important it is to ask – it’s on everyone’s mind when given a new task, project or goal.

It’s likely that most of the work you do is very important. At the same time, it may or may not be urgent. Click here for a quick coaching video on how to discern. Considering the time of day you have your best energy may influence how urgent a certain task, project or goal is. Considering your energy will help you to prioritize so you can utilize your mindset, behaviors and strategy within your peak performance times. (Note: we all have peak performance times.)

We often hear the idea that time is our most valuable resource. We are in alignment and will add that our time AND our energy are our most valuable resources. It turns out that they often go hand in hand. View a brief coaching video to support your time management here.

Here are a few examples:

1.   When managing our time, our mindset may be focused on trying to do too many things that need to get done and yet, we run out of time and energy.

2.   It may be that we have very little time, and yet, with our behaviors aligned with our priorities, we are energized and able to get everything done that we set out to do.

3.   There may be times in work and life, we create a positive strategy, utilizing our best energy, which provides outcomes that are good for all.

This is where the importance of having the mindset to manage your time, behaviors aligned with your priorities and strategy to utilize your best energy supports you and your team to work together and achieve your goals.

Your ENERGY Matters When Managing Your ...

Years ago, we were called to create a process for managing time and priorities within one of the organizations we coach. As we put together the learning, a common theme presented itself…

“as employees needed to manage their time and priorities, they first needed to manage their own energy.”

ENERGY matters. When energy is given the attention it needs, results tend to thrive. 

As we explore time, priorities and energy this May, we encourage you to check in with your own energy. You may want to ask yourself: 

“When do I feel the most energized throughout my work day?”

“What part of the day do I have lower energy?”
