Pat Brill has over 20 years of experience working with managers which has given her a unique perspective on what works for a manager’s success. Combining her management, leadership and coaching experience, Pat has broken down the key success strategies she’s collected into a new series of up-to-the-minute guides for the professional manager. She believes that a successful business and productive team requires flexible, nimble and practical, not theoretical, interpersonal management strategies. While there has been a lot of information available to team leaders and managers on business systems, what Pat finds is that managers often feel unsupported and unskilled in the “human quotient” elements—communication, connection and other invaluable skills necessary for building a productive and proactive professional relationship. Nowhere are these interpersonal elements more important than between a manager and his or her team! In this new series of “virtual coaching” guides Pat takes the successful methods she’s employed in her one-on-one coaching and consulting work and puts it in the palm of your hand! Here you will find the re-energizing and refocusing strategies you need whether you are leading a startup, an established corporate team, or anything in between.

Chapter 1: Time Management
Time management is the process of planning and exercising conscious control around the various moving parts in your life, so you get the most from your life. Your life can be a juggling act of various demands around work, family, social life and personal interests. How do you manage all these competing demands, so you live a full life?
Time management is about making choices around how you will use your energy each day to meet your business and personal goals.
You can't control time as it moves forward one second, one minute, one hour and one day at a time no matter what you do. Time doesn't discriminate how you use it. It's just time.
What you can do is manage how you use all those minutes in a day and what you choose to focus on to create the life you want.
Using your time
with purpose
doing the most important things first
planning your day by focusing on your priorities
Managing your time better is like figuring out a jigsaw puzzle of your life. Putting the pieces together helps to make the whole picture look right and function well.
Benefits of Time Management
With time management, you can organize the pieces of the puzzle to obtain your goals easier, get more done, with less stress, and even with better results.
Know what you can accomplish during a day
Maximize the use of the limited resources
Identify critical areas for special attention
Identify tasks that you can delegate to others
Track progress against goals
The number one benefit of time management is more business, time to create, time to spend with others or other important projects you want to do in your life.
The 80 to 20 Rule
For those that study time management, there is the principle of 80/20 that you should know.
This rule is also called the Pareto Principle, and it works very easily. It says that in most situations, 80% of the effort provides a mere 20% percent of the results.
Perhaps for you, it is not 80/20 exactly, but
