What it means to be outcome-oriented (and how it can help you be more efficient with your time) – a strategy featured in Fast Company
If you know me, then you know that I’m all about time management. In fact, being an effective manager of my time is what’s allowed me to only work four days a week, and grow my business like gangbusters.
So when I came across an article in Fast Company called “How (and why) you should practice ‘anti-time management,’” it caught me way off-guard.
Anti-time management? What does that even mean? And why on Earth would you not want to manage your time?
Turns out, this article has way more than a catchy headline – because as I dug into it, I found that there’s a whole different approach to time management that I’d never heard of before.
It’s all about focusing on your final outcome, or what success looks like after you’ve achieved your goal – and by doing that, you end up saving a lot of time that you would have otherwise wasted spinning your wheels.
If that has your head spinning, don’t worry – because in this episode, I’m going to break it all down for you.
You’ll hear:
- Why focusing on outcomes helps you achieve more (while doing less)
- Ways to become more outcome-oriented as a business owner
- How I almost made a huge mistake in my business but got back on track by focusing on the outcome
So if you’ve ever struggled with managing your time (or you’re a huge time management nerd like me), then tune into this episode to learn about this refreshing new approach.
