Do you know the answer to the question? If not you, then who? We all have a tendency to think that our crazy schedules are out of our control. But are they, really? Each of us has the same 24 hours in a day. Right? And not one person gets more than 24 hours, right?
We must all exercise the discipline to work on those things that have the most importance. Sometimes you have the discipline…but not the determination…when another person drops something onto your already full plate. You may also have to learn to say “ NO “.

What You Believe In You Have Time For
Do you know what your priorities are? Look at your appointment book, aka I-Pod, Blackberry, Day-Timer. The constant scribbles in the lines are your priorities. Most of the time the slots between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. are going to be work-related appointments.

There are three main parts to the procrastination puzzle.
- Activation Event: This refers to the task you are putting off.
- Belief System: These are your hidden feelings about the task or for whom you are performing (or avoiding) the task
- Consequence: This is what happens when we postpone or ditch the task
Procrastination is counterproductive behavior. We discussed possible causes in a previous post, i.e. fear of success, low sense of self-worth, self-defeating behavior, depression, ADHD, etc. Now let’s look at what this chronic procrastination might costs us.

Yes, there are things we can accomplish by multi-tasking, but they must be very mundane things. You might listen to a training recording while opening and sorting junk mail. But if either task requires your undivided attention to complete, no multi-tasking allowed.
What you can do to accomplish more: Continue reading ‘UNPLUGGED and UNWIRED’ »

Time Management = Time Freedom
Identify Time Wasters
As we talked about earlier this week, we all have the same amount of time each day and each week. How we use this time most often determines our success and satisfaction in life.
Time wasters can be both frustrating and distracting. In fact, studies have shown that if your concentration is removed from a task it can take fifteen to thirty minutes to get back on track. And even more time is lost if the interruption was dramatic! Yikes!
One of the most important time management tasks you can undertake is to identify your time wasters. These time wasters can be people, tasks, habits, things, your own personality quirks, etc. that get in the way of being more effective with your time. Continue reading ‘Identify Your Time Wasters’ »
