🎙 Dr. Steve Day discusses the importance of prioritising tasks and managing time effectively within a team. 

By following structured processes and rules, teams can avoid distractions, focus on high-priority work, and involve the right people in discussions at the appropriate times. 

Steve's insights provide practical strategies for enhancing productivity and achieving business success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

💡 Prioritizing work and setting clear policies and procedures are crucial for efficiency and productivity.

💡 Having designated times for specific tasks, such as clearing inboxes and scheduling work, helps you stay focused on high-priority tasks.

💡 Implementing time blocking for different tasks, like meetings, admin work, and deep work, can improve efficiency.

💡 Involving the right people at the right time for discussions and decision-making helps avoid wasting time and resources.

💡 Setting exceptions to rules, like having a Dream 100 list for special cases, allows for flexibility while maintaining a standard way of doing things.
