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.

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.

In the beginning…there was time

Who among us would not want more time in a day, week, month, or year?   Since that is virtually impossible, this week we will look at ways to maximize the time that we do have.

Each one of us has the same number of hours in our days.  What we do with those hours is as individual and unique as our personalities and fingerprints!   During this week we will look at various aspects of time, time management, time freedom, and today…even the ancient meanings of time.

What one job do Executive Coaches perform that their clients feel bring them the most value?   Accountability!

Executives and business owners lead very busy lives on many levels.  There are business, social, civic, as well as family responsibilities that keep them constantly on the run.

Doesn’t it seem that some people appear to have more time than others?  Or maybe they just use their time more wisely.  Either way, we all have the same 24 hours in each day, of which, we are only awake and active 18 hours or less.

An Executive Coach will:

  • Teach you how to move from inertia to action
  • Make sure you have specific, meaningful, and targeted goals
  • Ask you about the deadlines and timeframes for these goals
  • Hold you accountable for reviewing, revising, and reaching goals
  • Teach you how to move from inertia to action to accountability
