How to Double Your Salary Today!

Welcome back!

Before we jump into How to Double Your Salary Part 4, you can grab Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

Today, we’re going to share three more tips to help You get organized, become more productive and save time.

Which will enable you to direct more time to gain more free time, get your work done, get more work done in less time, gain peace of mind and along the way, double your salary.

Let’s get to it!

1. Postpone marginal and unnecessary tasks.

We all have a To Do List and we tackle some tasks merely to feel good – to feel like we accomplished something.

But the key question for each task is:

How important is the task to your overall mission?
How closely aligned with your job description and job duties is the task?
Does the task actually need to be completed at all? Maybe the task has become irrelevant at this point in time but people are performing the task because they have for years – it’s become a routine. . .
Do you have to do the task?
Is there someone else who’s better suited to handling the task instead of you?
Is there someone else who has more time to handle the task than you do?

If you ‘kick the can down the road’, there’s always another day!

Postponing unnecessary and unimportant tasks frees up valuable time that you can direct to more important tasks, more mission critical tasks.

2. Delegate tasks or part of a set of tasks to leverage your team (staff and colleagues) and free up your time.

Do you have a teammate, assistant, associate or partner that can handle a task, so you don’t have to?
Do you have any teammates or colleagues that will be more effective at performing the particular task than you?

Perhaps you could swap your task with a colleague who has more time or free time or can perform the particular task more efficiently and effectively than you can? Does your colleague have more expertise than you do regarding performing the particular tasks?

Another words, play to people’s strengths!

3. Plan the Order of Operations.

With most projects, there’s an optimal order of operations. One thing comes before another or should. At least some steps in the process should come before other steps in the process.

Imagine building a house and putting the roof on before you built the foundation, installed the walls and ceilings. . .

Imagine driving from New York City to Los Angeles. To leave Manhattan, your GPS would direct you over a bridge or through a tunnel. Then you might head west on Interstate Route 80. And so on.

Spend time analyzing each task on your plate. Shuffle the tasks around to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.

Experiment to figure out how to best order the steps in the process to maximize your efficiency and effectiveness.

When you organize your schedule and streamline your workflow, you will gain peace of mind and free up valuable time which you can devote to more important tasks!

That’s the ticket to creating more time to complete your assigned tasks on time, take on more projects at work, take on more responsibility and higher value-add tasks and projects, increase your output, create more value for your company and double your salary!
