Do you discover that you often have difficulty getting
accomplished what you had hoped to achieve during the day? Are you often
overwhelmed by the volume of things you feel you need to do, and then
disappointed when you don't get them done? When introduced to a new idea
or task, is one of your first thoughts that you don't have any time to
do anything more? We must all take to heart the adage that both the
wealthiest and most successful individuals each have the same 24 hours
in their days, but the difference is how effectively they utilize their
time. Isn't it interesting that so many people realize the need to
manage their money and other aspects of their lives and careers, but
neglect focusing on themselves and how they can achieve more and be far
happier (and less stressed) simply by paying attention to how they
manage and utilize their time. Whether this relates to optimizing your personal life and/ or efficiency, or becoming better in your field of endeavor, the better you manage your time, the better your chances, opportunities, options and possibilities! Time management means creating a time
utilization action plan and adhering to certain specific disciplines:
1. Focus on you and what your true needs are: Are you as happy and content as you'd like to be? Do you feel fulfilled by the end results and what you can accomplish? Do you get done as much accomplished during the course of a day as you'd both like and need to?
2. Discipline: Are you willing to do what you need to do in order to develop more efficiency, and to do so habitually? Will you introspectively examine what process you are following, and commit to do things that enhance both your efficiency and effectiveness? Since we all know that some people are able to get more things done than others, doesn't it make sense to use a different approach or techniques?
3. Vision and goals: Time management begins with knowing and focusing on your priorities and what you wish to accomplish. Commit to following the adage of, "Don't sweat the small stuff," and focus on your goals.
4. Action plan with contingencies: Analyze what needs to be done, strategize, and create an action plan that you follow. This plan must pre - plan contingencies, or what is often known as having a backup plan or Plan B. By seamlessly do so, you become better able to manage your time efficiently.
5. Learn how to multi - task: Use even small intervals of downtime to begin to plan additional aspects or items you wish to get done.
6. No blame of others or yourself: Blame never achieves anything, is non - productive, and wastes time. Focus on what needs to be done from this point on, and on who might have done better in the past.
7. Can't change past, or even the present: So, pay attention to what you'll do from this point forward, and stop wasting time and effort on negative energies.
Nearly everyone can do a better job managing his time. Why shouldn't you do that for you?
