Freeing Up Time

Day 12
it seems the more I try to free time the more the work I will be doing keep on stretching. I seem to have more and more work at my employers to the extent that today I did nothing in the direction of my goals. So i worked on trying to free up time for sartuday so that I will catch up on the research project that has been behind since yesterday. I need to hit my target completion date for sartuday but I guess completion on monday will still be ideal.

To increase my free time from the pressures of work related issues I am pushing for a temp employee candidate to cover december to February. the employee will benifit from more knowledge and space to do his university project as he will be on vacation. This naturally will help me cover some business-book-mileage between December 2007 and March 2008. In will push for a graduate on a permanent basis, I will develop the individual as well as training materials I will need in future. I will be recording whatever I teach them on so that it becomes a manual for the administrators course. I will also grow material from training the vacation student and other students.

I will also want to spend the last days of October training other employees at work on job related issues they need to master. I will monitor and further train them in November. Its a Win-Win arrangement as this will help them grow at the same time helping free up my time every afternoon to concentrate on my bigger project issues. It seems I need to work more on the not-urgent-important issues so that I dont fire-fight everyday since goals are won and lost everyday. I need to work on disaster recovery strategies and network stabilisation strategies
