Time Management Skills:
    Plan - meaningfully.
    Say No.
    Block out time for you.
    Delegate.


Managing Your Time

When Managing your time consider "Is this what I need to be doing right now?" and "Do I want to this?" Do only do things that are meaningful to you. Have your daily activities reflect your values.

In the future you will have no more time an you do now, to do what you really want do. What would it be like for you to do now what you are putting off until you have more money, your children are older, or you retire?

When you say yes to something you are saying no to something else. What are you saying no when you say yes to:

  • procrastination?
  • poor planning?
  • unclear goals?
  • perfectionism`?
  • attempting too much?

What are you able to control? There are events we can't control, but believe we can. For example, complaining about the weather or trying to bend someone to our will.

There are events we can control, but believe we can't. Like the self-imposed belief that we can't make changes in our career.

Books Supporting Change

One Minute For Myself: How to Manage Your Most Valuable Asset, by Spencer Johnson, M.D., one of the co-authors of The One Minute Manager. This modern fable succinctly helps you see that looking after yourself is the first step to being happy and effectively looking after everyone else in your business and life. This includes asking yourself, "Is there a better way for me to act right now?" You are the one that responds to what is happening around you. "In one minute you can change your attitude and that minute can change your entire day." The book also makes the point that things will get better only when you stop doing what doesn't work.
