Time happens. There is no way to stop it, slow it down or speed it up. It's constant. If you feel like you're often on the losing side of the time management equation, it has nothing to do with time and everything to do with management. I happen to believe you can be a winner at time management by breaking down your activities into small chunks. Take today for example. Your day will end when you hit the pillow. What are you planning to do today? If you don't know, the day will end with you not accomplishing much. If you have plans, are they written? Not writing them down automatically drops your success rate. How many written goals for the day will you achieve? How long will it take to accomplish each goal on your list? Are you tracking how many goals you achieve each day?
Be honest about your answers. Decide what you're going to avoid doing so you can gain more time to do what's necessary. Put time limits on wasteful activities. If you really stink at time management, start super small by dedicating one hour to do your most important task and forget about the other 23 hours. If you can win one battle that only takes one hour of your time, you can build on that. Once you get consistent achieving one single goal that only takes one hour a day to complete and you do this for seven straight days, you are ready to add one extra hour of task management per day for week #2. Win these small time management battles and you will eventually become unstoppable. You will win the war on managing your time. You will become a brand new person. Have a great day.
