10. How your time gets stolen - Your 5 Thieves of time
Has your day also too few hours to complete your work? 24 hours are not enough? The issue is that our hours are stolen from
thieves every day, and we don't protect them. These are the 5-time thieves:
► TOO MUCH WORK-IN-PROGRESS (WIP): Work that has started, but not yet finished.
► CONFLICTING PRIORITIES: Projects and tasks that compete with each other. We are
uncertain about the most important thing to do.
► UNKNOWN DEPENDENCIES: Something we aren't aware of that needs to happen before
work can be finished.
► UNPLANNED WORK: Interruptions that prevent you from finishing something or from
stopping at a better breaking point.
► NEGLECTED WORK: Partially completed work but never completed.
How can you protect your hours?
