MANAGE YOUR TIME

In a world with more automation - more electronic devices to manage our time, communication, and productivity than we have ever had before, lack of time continues to develop as an increasing problem for many.

An expert real estate investor once told me that there are so many nitty gritty details that we naturally want to micro-manage, that if we don’t manage our time, our time will manage us.

I believe that we are guilty of getting caught up in the ‘herd’, but any of us can choose to manage our time more effectively.

My friend Chris Widener of Time Mastery offers the following advice:

  1. What you measure gets managed - inventory where your time and focus is currently being spent.
  2. Document exactly what you value, what you consider priority, and specifically what your goal is (are).
  3. Outline the most effective steps to help you reach your goal(s).
  4. Focus only on your goals, and let the rest get taken care of - THEY ALWAYS DO!
  5. Learn to say “NO” to things that are not part of your priorities, that will move you toward your goals.
