Time Management Tips to get more every day

Time Management Tips to get more every day

"I don't have enough time", "I have to work late tonight", "I have to pick up the kids", "I have to go to the supermarket”, "I'm too tired to get out of bed that early", "I'm too exhausted after work", "I think I need another rest day", "I don't have time to take a lunch break".

We've all made these excuses at one time or another in our lives or careers.

We can all make these excuses today but if we are truly committed to achieving in life, we have to find a way to overcome this sometimes overwhelming hurdle.

As sales and business professionals, we all face challenges:

* The challenges of learning new business skills
* The challenge of overcoming the fear of rejection
* The challenge of moving to the absolute limit of our comfort zone.

However, one challenge that we are not all so apt at facing head-on, is something that we all must deal with no matter who we are and at what level of success we are currently achieving. It catches up to every one of us.

It's the challenge of time management.

Here are a few quick tips on managing your time more efficiently and getting more done in less time.

1. Long-Term Goal Setting

This is the first step in proper and successful time management in any area. We need to set goals. We need to decide what we want to achieve so that we can set up a plan to get there. Once we know a desired outcome, we can gain greater concentration, constantly focusing on our desired future performance.

2. Short-Term Goal Setting:
Once our long term, large-scale goals are set, it is also important to set mini goals for ourselves along the way. This will help us to focus on our long-term vision by providing us with short-term motivation.

3. Prioritizing

Along with setting our goals on both a large and small scale, we also have to force ourselves to prioritize our activities and put them into our daily calendars.

4. Scheduling

In scheduling our days, we must consider what we can realistically accomplish in the each 24 hour block. We need to plan to make the best use of our time. This may mean giving up certain activities that do not contribute towards the achievement of our goals. Like TV, socializing and even sleeping as much as you may do now.

5. Attitude Assessment

Finally, we must also pay attention to our attitude and our commitment to our goals. Is there any part of our mindset that is holding us back or eating up our time? This is a problem that must be fixed before we can succeed. Is the goal something we really want to do? If so, then we need to get motivated. Go back to our original goal to remember why we wanted to accomplish this task in the first place.

Now we have no excuses. We know how to meet the physical and mental challenges of achieving our goals and there's not much else that can stop us from success. With some goal setting, prioritizing, and a positive attitude, we can conquer the final challenge of time!

Have a great week. Make it a great week.

Bernard Reber
Back in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!
