As well as reorganising my main working environment, I’ve decided it’s time to take a more proactive approach to managing myself. Having lots of projects on the go usually means having a shortage of time for anything else and sometimes it does get stressful.

Some of the things I’m looking at to help me get things done and free up some time for non-work activities include:

• Outsourcing work. Whilst this may seem like an ideal way to free myself, it does mean having to pay people and also project manage. The upside is that once I settle on some people I can trust to get the job done then I ought to really see the benefits. Until then, it’s more work to find the right people.
• Take a different approach. I’m all for self-improvement and time management so I’ve bought a copy of the David Allen book, Getting Things Done, which I’ve read some very good things about. Of course, reading the book will mean that I can’t do anything else during that time (I could always get someone to read it to me!). If only it were an audio book!

Time will tell just how well I get on!
