Post 8 and final in the series on Time Management for Managers
Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored how to manage time—not to simply get more done, but to focus on what truly matters.
We covered seven key principles:
1. Distinguishing between important and urgent tasks.
2. Delegating tasks effectively.
3. Avoiding the trap of constantly reacting.
4. Blocking time in your calendar.
5. Understanding that time management is self-management.
6. Setting smart boundaries.
7. Leading by example—our final principle.
My story:
As a manager, I set a rule—once a week, everyone left early.
And I made sure to follow it myself. Why? Because I knew that if I stayed late, my team would feel pressured to do the same.
What difference did it make?
• It freed them from the unspoken pressure to always stay late.
• It legitimized work-life balance.
• It created a culture of accountability for time.
Years later, a manager who worked with me said:
“Your example gave me the strength to be a leader who protects both my own well-being and my team’s.”
The message is simple: Managing your time isn’t just for you—it influences everyone around you.
