Sage HR solutions help you apply the time management techniques for your employees to meet all their deadlines.
What is time management? Simply put, time management is how you prioritise tasks and juggle multiple demands. It’s measured by how effectively you plan your day to get the most done. Good time management lets you work smarter, so you get more done faster. Failing to properly manage your time can drastically impact your team, company, and overall performance.
In order to properly plan your day, it’s important you know what requires your time.
Specific objectives help guide you through your day, week, or even month. These objectives should include set deadlines to help with motivation.
A list helps you plan your day, see what you need to do and keep track of tasks. So much so, Sir Richard Branson credits his success to to-do lists.
Sort your to-do list into high to low priorities. Knowing what to focus on first and identifying important tasks ensures your efforts aren’t wasted on the wrong things.
It’s important to remove or at least minimise distractions. Otherwise, your day could become unproductive. Try using set periods to check emails and avoid social media.
Multitasking doesn't work. By switching between tasks, you ultimately take longer to complete anything. Instead, focus on one task and group similar tasks together when working through your to-do list.
Teamwork is key to efficient time management. Try asking co-workers for help managing tasks that aren’t your top priority but still need to be completed. This will save you time and give them the opportunity for growth.
Overworking is detrimental to your health and the business. Make sure to take regular breaks, get fresh air, and step away from your desk. Remember high-quality work does not equate to high-quantity.

When fundraising, investors will want to know certain key trajectory measures unique to SaaS companies. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are defined as the quantifiable measures used to determine how well a SaaS or recurring revenue organisation meets its operational and strategic goals.

CFOs should use metrics to intelligently shape and inform their strategies regardless of their industry. But when your industry moves at breakneck speeds as it does for SaaS companies, the metrics, and your visibility around them, become more than helpful. They become indispensable to creating a shared consciousness on the direction of the business. Why […]
Surviving and thriving in business regardless of external financial conditions might sound too good to be true. SaaS is a highly competitive industry, and even the top players in the market can have their good fortune reversed if they aren’t constantly vigilant.

Productivity and mindfulness gurus often tout the benefits of getting into a “flow state” for optimal performance, creativity, and high-impact outcomes. That’s because, when you’re “in the zone” and completely immersed in an activity, you lose sense of time, you feel and perform your best, and every action and decision flows seamlessly from the last.
