Step 1: Record Use of Time, ContinuedLog phonecallsLog incoming and outgoing calls. A pattern will emerge where you'll see iftime spent on the telephone was worth it.Telephone LogDate/Caller Start End Subject Value of CallSamplingProcedureKeeping a log amounts to taking a census. This is tedious, so do it only onceor twice a year. Otherwise you'll forget to make entries or else lose interest.An easier way is take samples throughout the day. Sampling is easy and willgive a fairly accurate picture of how you're spending time.To take a sample of your daily activities, follow these steps:StepAction1 Set your watch alarm to chime hourly. Use an odd time like 17minutes after the hour--it makes the sample more random.2 Note activity at that time.3 Ask if it's worthwhile.4 If the answer is no, make a commitment to change your ways.<strong>NRDC</strong> GRC – Staff Handbook 3-7
