Master Time Management and Priority Setting: Block out focused work time in your calendar, use the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks, limit meetings to 30 minutes by default, and practice the 'Two-Minute Rule' for quick tasks.
Delegate Effectively and Empower Your Team: Match tasks to team members' skills and career goals, provide clear instructions and expectations, give authority along with responsibility, and follow up without micromanaging.
Streamline Communication for Maximum Efficiency: Use asynchronous communication tools for non-urgent matters, implement a 'no-meeting day' each week, create clear communication guidelines for your team, and use visual aids to convey complex information quickly.
Leverage Technology for Productivity Gains: Use project management tools to track tasks and progress, automate routine tasks with scripts or tools, implement code review tools to speed up the review process, and use time-tracking apps to identify productivity patterns.
