Time Management


Time management for me seems to get easier when there's something fun on the calendar.  Maybe that's because doing fun things makes time appear to pass quickly.  The challenging part is managing ourselves during the times when we're doing tasks we don't necessarily like.  Successful people understand managing the difficult tasks efficiently allows more free time for the fun stuff.

Time boundaries are great tools for controlling your daily activities.  Think of your tasks as sets of boxes, each one with a label indicating how much time you're giving yourself to finish the job.  Arrange the boxes with the most challenging task first.  This method allows you to complete the most difficult tasks when you have the most energy and available time.  Take care of your fun stuff at the end.  It's amazing how focused you can be when you know you can't touch the fun boxes until you're done with the boxes nobody else wants to touch.  Set your priorities daily so you can become a champion of time management.  Have a great day.
