Seth Godin points out marketing needs to start well before product development. Similarly, time management needs to start well before anybody has the idea to assign the “wrong” task to you.
This is a new, different approach to prioritisation that starts well before you get a task in your inbox. I believe the importance of classical time management methods diminishes in a world that is no longer transactional but increasingly disbursed and concurrent. In this new world employees need to define what they stand for and build their own personal brand.
Once this brand is built, people will only come to you for what you stand for. If you are “Mr. Errand” in your department, people will come to you with errands. However, if you demonstrate that you are “Mr. Complex Market Analysis” people will come to you for that. This short book will show you how you manage yourself and your environment, rather than your inbox.
