Tracking Methods
Record activities and durations for a representative week. Categorize time by task type to identify inefficiencies. Use findings to set targeted changes for the next week.
Analysis Steps
Compare planned versus actual time use to spot gaps. Identify recurring low value activities to reduce or eliminate. Set measurable targets for time reallocation.
Implementation Plan
Apply small changes such as batching or time blocking based on audit results. Monitor effects for two weeks and refine the plan. Keep a simple dashboard to track time savings.
Sustainability Check
Ensure changes are realistic and maintainable over time. Re audit periodically to capture new patterns and adjust. Celebrate efficiency gains to reinforce continued practice.
