Time effectiveness is about doing the right things the right way "being100 % perfect at doing the wrong thing is a100% waste of time" doing the right thing come in three flavours:

1/ knowing what I want to achieve

2/ I focus on the important stuff

3/ I deal with the urgent stuff

 

I deal with items which are both important and urgent first.

I set aside time in the day to progress important matters, such as items on critical path

I delay working on matters which are not important such as items with sufficient float or on a non critical path but still has to be done.

 

For important  and difficult items within a project, thinking ahead I found it pays big dividends. Working backward from the desired outcome and identify the critical path for getting there.

This allows me to start things early to avoid time consuming crisis later on in the project.

I start with project analysis early to identify stakeholders, what are the approval mechanisms; get advice, directions and support early. All these things helps to shape and focus later work which will save time.  All in all I focus on achievement not on the activity.

Working hours could be very short - yet not so effetive to achieve lot of objectives - so it is always a balance between assets, manpower and available time - i did face a lot of situations handling loading shipping containers for export purposes, many times had either to look for support in manpower or assets - as always planing does not fit accuratly when meeting real time work - but with experiance i managed to get the job done on time.
