When one examines what often differentiates the most successful
individuals from most of the others, we often observe that one of the
key factors is how well they manage their TIME. Even
the most intelligent, most experienced individuals with the greatest
expertise, often fail to achieve to their potential when they don't
manage this essential component to its maximum degree. Lee Iacocca
stated, "The ability to concentrate and to use your time well is
everything." While it may not truly be everything (because that assumes
it is the only factor), it is certainly no doubt something that makes a
key and major ingredient. Examining this from a mnemonic perspective
perhaps helps us to best focus on what is needed.
1. Time management begins with a willingness and ability to train yourself. This is a far different scenario than merely taking training programs, classes, seminars, or even actual learning. It is, rather, the combination of gathering the needed facts, data, and information, and then synergistically using this information in a manner that best suits your personality, learning type and habits, desires, motivations, visions, goals, etc. This training is the ultimate form of personal development and self - discipline, because it is what will direct one to achieve to his maximum potential.
2. Far too often, individuals examine situations, and observe numerous areas that they realize need to be addressed, or need to be improved upon. However, those that merely follow a multi - faceted approach, rather than creating priorities, often get bogged down in minutia. Therefore, it is important for each of us to install personal controls, that help us to focus, prioritize, and organize as well as we can do.
3. A large percentage of individuals never even begin, but many others also merely begin but never proceed to a course of action that is essential. In order to best address how we might utilize our time, we each must maintain the course, so your plan has the opportunity to succeed. This does not mean merely never giving up, but rather developing a way to evaluate your progress, what needs tweaking, and the most efficient and effective way to proceed.
4. Perhaps the most overlooked aspect of this necessary task is how we actually examine and proceed with our goals, etc. Therefore, how we establish our short - term, intermediate and longer term plans and goals, will often determine our ability to succeed. Doing this creates a mindset for being organized, and unless one becomes efficient, focused and creative, how can he possibly best manage his time?
One can never consider how he handles his time, without examining priorities, goals, and especially personal discipline. Those who create a form of personal daily agenda, and utilize timelines and other measures/ metrics, are best able to use their time effectively, Remember the adage that both the most successful and the least successful individual both have the same 24 hours in their day, but the more successful use that time more effectively and impactfully!
Whether you are employed, or self - employed, or are involved in volunteer leadership; whether you work for another, or are an Independent Contractor, such as a Real Estate professional, physician, dentist, etc, obviously, the better you are able to manage your time, and use it to your best advantage, the better you might be able to function and/ or achieve!
