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.
2. Well, here are some tips to help you develop good time management skills.
  • 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: 
a)you're never fully engaged in the task at hand;
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.
3. Reduce the scope, but stick to the schedule.
  • 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
