You can usually tell
how successful someone is by how much they respect their time.
Your time on this earth
is finite, it's ticking down for you this very minute.
Imagine you're in a
rocking chair at the age of 70 years. When you look back on your life do you
want to see you fritted it away or would you prefer to be able to smile and
know you did what you truly desired?
It's what you do with
your time that matters. Remember, your time is precious. Time itself is
unmanageable despite all the 'time management' waffle in print. It goes on
doing its thing regardless of you. The answer to "time management" is
to manage your actions instead.
Don't
allow others to take your time and break your concentration when they feel like
it.
This means cutting out
distractions when you are working and prioritizing your actions.
Do you think you can usually
pick up the phone and get straight through to someone who is very successful?
I don't think so.
You need to make an
appointment first which gets allocated to you by them. They are in control of
what they do with their time.
Note: Every
day set aside at least one prime time action hour (preferably more - I have 5)
where you only work towards your most important goals.
Accept no distraction. Do not
answer the phone; read the mails, read emails, talk to co-workers, friends,
family or even pets!
Respect
and protect time.
