It is Time Conservation not Time Management: Leveraging PM Principles for Success

Ways of Working

Time is an ever-depleting resource.  What happens today becomes history and is unable to be changed. 

Once the day is done, the activities become part of the past, and only the lessons remain.

 

The average person has no record of their progress in any given day.  There is no historical record to

remind them of the progress they have made, procrastinated, or couldn’t control.  As humans, it is

possible to believe that we have all the time in the world.  We don’t.  If we assume that we are going to

live to be 80 years old, we have 80 * 365 days on this planet.  The number of days is 29,200. 

 

Contrary to popular opinion, life is a series of sprints, not a marathon.  Time passes by the second, not by the day.  In Project Management, we talk about the impact of recording actual progress to the schedule, but often don’t tell the truth.  For example, tracking to a payroll number isn’t tracking to the schedule.  Our profession is rife with examples of team members being left at risk because of a flawed approach to tracking our personal, or project history.

 

Time conservation is personal and non-negotiable. To paraphrase Yoda, “Try not! Do It or Don’t.  It is up to you!”

Sandra Hoskins
Founder and CEO of The Kellan Group Incorporated
Sandra is the Founder and CEO of The Kellan Group Incorporated. The Kellan Group is a project management consulting, forensics, and education consulting firm. Sandra is also an adjunct faculty member at the University of Wisconsin. She believes that project management is a relationship-based profession, and the principles of leadership, education and project management are the difference makers and the deal breakers. It is how we grow people and organizations and, more importantly, it is how we influence lives. By getting to know our team members from where they are rather than where we think that they must be. As a speaker, mentor, educator, consultant, author and project manager, Sandra Hoskins is committed to working with people who want to create excellence in their life, whether at work, home, play or in their community. Sandra’s passions are project management and education. Her participation in these professions has taught her the importance of work-life balance. Her personal motto is, “project management is a life skill.” When you think about it, project management is an approach to problem-solving, no more and no less. In other words, Make It So.
