• #6 – You Must Sort Out Your Time Management First

    I used to think this was hokey stuff, but imagine being involved in a project

        and being interrupted,
        again and again, and
        having family visit,
        maybe getting sick,
        a holiday,
        a computer technical glitch that sets you back

    Being able to GET THINGS DONE and Good time management skills will set you apart.

    Time Management is NOT just A TO DO LIST

    It has to do with Mindmapping. (an incredible process I discovered that allows you to visualize everything that’s placed in your head onto literally ONE sheet of paper called a mindmap.)

    In fact – here is a bonus – a visual of the mindmap that facilitated me to organize my thoughts for these 9 ways, while viewing the project at large and ultimately – write this report in a few hours:

    Managing your time effectively also has to do with Procrastination.

    How do I overcome this challenge? (honestly, I head it on daily, it’s not a natural skill of mine)

    My favorite strategy? I love Reverse Engineering. Here is how it works:

    ‘I see what I want to accomplish by the end of the day and I work backwards to figure out exactly how to allot my time accordingly. ‘

    This way I have goals and drive to meet them.

    My friend has crafted an incredible source – 12 proven strategies to kiss procrastination “BYE! BYE!” , it’s just 19 action packed pages long. And it’s a fast and life changing read: (REALLY!) See HERE ….

    VERY IMPORTANT P.S. - Some people, including yours truly, has long thought that if you struggle with time management, it is more beneficial to spend your time actually making things happen, then sit down and really study how to manage time better. I mean the irony of actually ‘WASTING’ my time learning how to Maximize my time??

    This is a mistake.

    Like ANY skill, setting aside some time to learn it will have long lasting rewards. Without learning HOW to better manage your time, you may just resort back to your old habits very quickly, with no learned skills to keep that from happening!
