    Lahore ended 2008 with elections that we saw good participation bymembers and all but one chapter position was contested. Arif Sadiq and

    Omer Jameel conducted the whole elections process in a very professionalmanner. We started 2009 with a lecture by Dr. Salman Azhar from Auburn

    University on Virtual Design and Web based Project Management.2009 also saw the launching of the much awaited PMBOK 4th Edition.

    Anticipating changes in the exam starting in June 2009, there was rush ofregistrations in the Chapters highly rated PMP Preparation courses.

    Courses based on PMBOK 3rd Edition will continue to be offered till April

    2009.Chapter membership continues to grow and we are now headed towards the

    500 mark! As we grow in size we hope to tap into a greater pool of

    volunteers and an increase in chapter activities. I hope to continue gettingfeedback from you on new initiatives and ideas for the chapter.

    Welcome to the first issue of PMI Newsletter in 2009 published by the PMI

    Lahore Chapter Editorial Board. It is understandable that Project Management isa crucial skill but one that is not easily acquired or actively taught at University. It

    is through this deficiency that PMI Lahore Chapter seeks to differentiate from otherProject Management related outfits.

    As we publish more issues over the coming months, we hope that the dedicatededitorial board can give you an insight into the world of project management. In this

    issue, we cover the Project Time Management, PMI Seminars and a success story

    of a Project Management Professional (PMP).

    PMI Lahore Chapter actively encourages people from all faculties and

    background to get involved in Project Management. Anyone and everyone shouldhave the opportunity to learn how to get their projects completed within plannedscope, time, and budget.

    I hope that you enjoy this edition as much as we have enjoyed making it for you.Feel free to drop me a line [email protected] any questions or

    comments.

    Inspiration

    IfyoucandreamitYoucandoit.[WaltDisney]

    Disneyland was built in 366 d

    from ground-breaking to firs

    open to the public.

    The idea behind the theme of issue was basically a factfinding process of that area not only in projectmanagement but a in a broad spectrum i.e. scope of

    our life, because life is also a project.So Without the proper use of time, our performanceand productivity will suffer. Basically Timemanagement is not about managing time, it is aboutmanaging yourself and those around you.

    he"ThreePs"ofEffectiveTimeManagement1. Planning.2. Priorities.3. Procrastination .

    lanning

    ow we can beat the time?me is non renewable source once its gone, its gone so plan each second because every

    econd counts. Spend it in productive and efficient way with the help of proper Planning.

    s per ParkinsonsLawWork expands so as to fill the time available for its completion,

    o planning is very important it helps us to find time for important things.ow Do I Plan?

    Predicting the future.Decide what you want your future to look like.Analyze the results.

    With the help of above analysis List your tasksSteps required achieving the goals.Set deadlines.List resources needed.Keep your eye on your goals.

    onclusion: Plan well in advance and stick to your plan.

    riorities

    fter finalizing your to-do list next step is to prioritize them. For that use 80-20 Rule.Use the 80-20 rule originally stated by the Italian economist Pareto.

    80% of the outcome comes from 20% of the tasks.Identify the 20% that is most important and then prioritize your time toconcentrate the most effort on those items.

    Flag itemsaccording toimportance bygiving them an A,B or C priority,with A beinghighest priority.

    Set deadlines fortasks to focus onyour priorities

    Knowing when not to workimportant as knowing wh

    Procrastination

    Procrastination is the thief of time

    Time management is one important aspect to see the larger picture workingsmoothly. The less wastage involved in time management, the more efficiently theresults will come through.As a Pakistani I feel that this nation really knows that time is money, how? Justhave a look on our roads.

    Tick when your Body Wants to Tock

    CircadianRhythms:

    Circadian rhythms are internal biological clocks that regulate many functions and

    activities, including sleep, temperature, metabolism, alertness, blood pressure, heart

    rate and hormone levels and immunities. About every 24 hours our bodies cycle

    through metabolic and chemical changes.

    These Circadian Rhythms are reset by sunlight each morning.Whether you are a Morning Person or a Night Owl is determined by these cycles.If we learn to listen to our bodies, we can work with these natural rhythms insteadof fighting them.We can make more efficient use of our time by scheduling certain activities atcertain times of the day.

    Maximize your Efficiency

    Cognitive Tasks [8am - 12 noon*] Cognitive, or mental, tasks such as reading,calculating, and problem solving areperformed most efficiently in the morning.

    Short term memory [6 am - 10 am*] Short term memory tasks such as lastminute reviewing are best performed earlyin the morning.

    Long term memory [1 pm - 4pm*] Longer term Memory tasks such asmemorizing speeches and information forapplication are best performed in theafternoon

    Manual Dexterity [2 pm to 6 pm*] You are most efficient at tasks involving theuse of your hands such as keyboarding andcarpentry in the afternoon and earlyevening.

    Physical Workouts [4 pm to 9 pm *] Because of Circadian Rhythms it is best toengage in physical activity in the eveningwhen your large muscle coordination is atits peak.Studies show you will perceive the workoutto be easier in the evening.Exercising about 1-2 hours before bedtimeimproves the quality of sleep.

    *If you are a N ight Owl, shift these times about 3-4 hours later in the day.

    Whydoweprocrastinate?

    Dont know where to start.

    To avoid an unpleasant task.

    Afraid to fail.

    Waiting for more information.

    Over-committed.

    AvoidingProcrastination

    Doing things at the last minute is

    much more expensive than just

    before the last minute

    List the things you have beenavoiding, and then prioritize them

    Deadlines are really important,

    establish them yourself!

    The

    aim

    of

    Time

    management

    is

    for

    you

    to

    achieve

    your

    goals

    and

    still

    Attempting too much.

    Not saying no.

    Incomplete information.

    Management by crisis, fire fig

    Interruptions.

    Get the Most Out Of the First

    Hours of the Day

    Dont eat breakfast at work.

    Dont schedule meetings ftime.

    Start with the most importanof the day.

    Do the things you dont wanfirst.

    Improving Poor Time Utilization

    Here is a checklist of common causes of poor / low time utilization. These are

    prime targets when seeking to improve productivity.

    TIP: Measure the before and after effect wherever possible. That is, you should

    attempt to quantify each cause of waste time you attack, in terms of money,

    time and material. This way you can objectively assess the difference you have

    made.
