does anyone really know what time it is...

Day two: crash course on Managing for Results. Okay, so listen to this. While Sandra was explaining the various processes for gathering data on the amount of time needed by staff to do specific activities, she shared this statistic: most tasks take two and a half times as long as we think they do. Pretty scary don't you think? Of course I'm not getting to all the things I think I should.... I need a twenty-hour work day to get through my to do list.

This post should have been two and a half times as long so we could all benefit from what you have learned. But then, reading blogs takes two and a half times as long as I thought already...

Speaking of To Do Lists, have you seen the blog? It's a collection lists, To Do and otherwise. Very interesting...

Typing a comment takes two and half longer, too! Becca wants to know when to take her by the see you on that project you have in mind for her.
