Outline of my persuasive speech #2
Purpose Statement: The purpose of my speech is to help people increase work effectiveness and productivity.
Introduction:
1. Social ecologist Peter F. Drucker once said: “Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.” Never is this truer than when describing the importance of time management skills for people.
- Effective time management doesn't mean doing more things or doing them more quickly. Effective time management means getting more of the important work done in a day.
- Good time management leads to improved efficiency and productivity, less stress, and more success in life.
- Eliminate half-work at all costs.
- Do the most important thing first.
- Reduce the scope, but stick to the schedule.
Body:
1. Eliminate half-work at all costs
- Usually we're balancing the needs of messages, emails, and to-do lists at the same time that we are trying to get something accomplished. It's rare that we are fully engaged in the task at hand.
- Regardless of where and how you fall into the trap of half-work, the result is always the same:
b)you rarely commit to a task for extended periods of time;
c)it takes you twice as long to accomplish half as much.
2. Do the most important thing first.
- If there is something important that you need to do, then you do it first.
- If you do the most important thing first, then you’ll never have a day when you didn’t get something important done.
- Finish something today, even if the scope is smaller than you anticipated.
- That's how little goals become lifetime habits.
Conclusion:
- Habits that are learned when young are hard to change the older you become.
- The ability to manage your time effectively is important. Good time management leads to improved efficiency and productivity, less stress, and more success in life.
- “Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.” William Penn
