Tick Toc Goes the Clock

Tick Toc = TIME MANAGEMENT -Achieve more with your time.

Many people freak at the words: “Time Management”

Yes I have seen grown men buckle at the knees (sorry guys, but some of you are the worst time managers on this earth). Now women as time managers that is a whole different ball game. You want to see time management in action watch a workingwoman with 4 + kiddies! So what is it – Time Management is a set of related common-sense skills that help you to use your time in the most effective and productive way possible.

By using time Management skills you can learn to:

  • Determine which of the things you do are important, and which can be dropped.
  • Use your time in the most effective way possible.
  • Increase the time in which you can work, or do those special things that your extra income may provide, or spend time doing your “Favorite things”
  • Control the distractions that waste your time and break your flow
  • Increase your effectiveness and reduce stress

By becoming more effective in the use of your time you can reduce stress by:

  • Being more in control of what you do
  • Being productive, and secure in your business activities whether you see it as a building a huge residual income or just part-time $$ to supplement.
  • Enjoying what you do
  • Giving yourself more quality time.

At the heart of the subject is a simple, but obvious, shift in focus

CONCENTRATE OF RESULTS, NOT ON BEING BUSY – have you heard the term “Busy being broke?”

Tips for better time management

  • Make a to do list EVERY night
  • List them in order of importance
  • NEVER put more than 4 – 5 things on that list
  • Turn off your mobile phone when starting the first project – Yes TURN IT OFF!!  There was a time BEFORE mobile phones that people were far more productive than today.  People can do without you for 3-4 hours and you can do without them.
  • DO NOT look at your emails until you have completed your tasks.  Emails are for the end of the day not the beginning.
  • Put your MSN to “Appear Offline” again big distraction to some.

AND NOW OVER TO YOU… … yes you now need to put your answer to the biggest distraction affecting you everyday on this list.
So Tick Toc goes the clock, every minute that you waste is a minute you CANNOT get back.

Until Next time,

Love and Light
