Eight common time wasters

Posted on Wednesday, August 17, 2005 at 10:40 AM by Ian McKenzie

There's a part inside most of us that prefers wasting time to accomplishing what needs to be done. Wasting time is not all bad. It can serve to help one relax or overcome stress. Most frequently though, wasted time is an opportunity lost.

Over the next few weeks I'm going to post on eight common sources —four internal and four external— of wasted time.

Internal:

  1. Disorganization
  2. Procrastination
  3. Inability to say no
  4. Attitude

External:

  1. Uninvited visitors
  2. Incoming communication
  3. Unproductive meetings
  4. Waiting

Stay tuned.
