5 Strategies for Getting More Work Done in Less Time You’ve got more to do than could possibly get done with your current work style. You’ve prioritized. You’ve planned. You’ve delegated. You’ve tried to focus. The next frontier is increasing your efficiency so that you can spend less time and still do a good job. Here are five strategies to help. Start by clarifying what’s actually needed and to what level. Then, ask yourself if there’s any work that you could reuse, and — where you can — copy, paste, and edit.

But too often leaders ask the wrong things, focusing more on what the interviewee has done in the past rather than what they can do in the future. If you need to hire someone to work on an innovation project, make sure youre asking questions that get to their ability to collaboratively problem solve. For example, you want to know how they would handle particular problem-solving situations rather than whether theyve done exactly what youre looking for in the past. You should assess whether they are able and willing to fill in gaps on teams when it becomes clear a particular role isnt being filled. And, its important to understand what theyre passionate about working on. Innovation happens when you bring people with different passions and approaches together to work toward the same goal.
