 Would you like to get more accomplished in less time? Pozen in Extreme Productivity Boost Your Results, Reduce Your Hours provides the following suggestions.

• Shift your mindset from hours worked to results produced.
•  Have you set and prioritized your goals why are you engaging in any activity and what do you expect to get from using your time this way
• Three big ideas. Document a list of everything you are required to do including projects. Divide your list into three time categories: Career Aims (5+ years), Objectives (3-24 months) or Targets (1 week or less).  Be sure each objective has at least one target.  Rank your objectives 1-10 (highest) by thinking about what you want to do, what you are good at, and what the world and your boss needs from you. Divide and rank your targets into enabling and assigned.
•  Estimate how you actually spend your time. Ask yourself how many hours do you spend at work? What are the three main activities you spend the most time on and how much time do you spend in meetings, responding to ems and other routine tasks. Address any mismatches between priories and time spent such as if you aren't spending the majority of your time on your top priorities.
• Keep your focus on the desired final product.  Be productive everyday. Use a calendar/schedule that has everything you need to do that day including your highest goal. Leave gaps so you have time to think, make calls, read ems. You need time to digest what is happening during the day, develop strategies for the future and formulate your goals for your next activity. Don’t forget to be productive you must get enough sleep and regular exercise. Look at the way you run meetings to be sure you are being efficient such as using agendas, and documenting decisions and who is accountable for what/when results.
• Developing personal skills. Read effectively by knowing your purpose for reading the item. First understand its structure, how divided, second read the introduction and conclusion carefully. Thirdly skim the tops of the paragraphs constantly ask yourself what's important to remember and how can I use the information?  Writing effectively means before you begin to write you have developed a map of where you want to go and then translate the map into prose by developing an introduction that provides the reader with context, the main theme and the organization.  Conclusions should not just be a summary but provide additional insight such as broader implications or suggestions for future actions. Use short clear sentences and provide an executive summary for long documents. Speak effectively meaning prior preparation, know your audience, provide structure such as an introduction, body and conclusion.  Practice your delivery so it becomes yours.
• Managing up and down. You can maximize your people by helping them achieve meaningful progress everyday through your delegation meaning agree on objectives, use metrics and a time line. Then stay out of their way and give them broad discretion to achieve the agreed upon outcome. Establish a mutually beneficial partnership with your boss by getting on the same page by proving them a list of your prioritized objectives for discussion. Consistently deliver high quality projects on time and under budget. Keep them informed so there are no surprises and if obstacles come up share how you plan to mitigate them.
• Pursing a productive life. Maximize your career options over a lifetime by asking yourself what can I do next that will maximize my options in the future? What skills do I have that are not being fully utilized? Evaluate whether there is sufficient demand in the future for your desired career by keeping in mind the long term trends occurring.
