Green time is the time you spend on serving your clients to provide the value for which they hired you. This requires working with your team, utilizing systems and processes to create consistent quality, and ultimately, reducing the amount of time YOU work every week, every month, every year.
Green time encompasses all of the following:
- Working on client tasks, both products and services (light green)
- Meetings with clients that deliver work/product (dark green)
- Time with coworkers on work/product (light green)
- Review of work/product (light green)
Ideally, 40 percent of your week should be devoted to green time.
