No Time? …5 Steps to make the most of your days
1. Write a To
Do Note
Write down every day 3-6 tasks you want to complete that day
and give each task a number of priority.
Don't allow yourself to put anything else on your list, until those
initial items are completed.
2. Write a
NOT To Do Note
Write down what you're doing each day or week that you want to stop doing. Are you doing things that
you don't enjoy? Are you helping out, and never getting any favors in return?
Are you letting yourself be interrupted feeling that you must always answer the
telephone? Remember, you have the power to say 'No.' The choice is yours.
3. Make Time
Make time for yourself. Give yourself a minimum of 30 minutes every day.
Use this time in a way that to relax - read, meditate, exercise or simply do NOTHING at all. My favorite is to add
something fun like adding a few dance steps while walking.
4. Get
enough sleep
It may sound boring, but it works. Most people need between six to eight hours of sleep, to feel
refreshed and ready-to-go each day. Determine how many hours of sleep you need,
and get that needed sleep each night. If possible, try to go to bed at the same
time each night, and wake up at the same time each day. This will help your
body get into a routine.
5. Define your hours
Define the hours you plan to work on
each project. Even if you run over time, you will find that having a reference
point will help your time management tremendously.
Final
Thoughts
See things
in perspective. Jobs are important. Your friends, families and health are as
important. Remind yourself of this daily. I have a note on my wall that says:
Never take life too seriously.
Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time.
Take
time to step back to see the bigger picture. What is really important to you?
Write it down and put in on YOUR WALL!
With
my best wishes for your success,
Christiane

Re: Can Soemone Invent a Longer Day
- Hi GT,
I think time travel would be better. That way we could just go back a few days and do more work. We'd essentially be able to get more done, and in a sense would be making our days longer.
However, do you think maybe that if we traveled to the past, then it would erase what we had previously done? Or, no matter what we do, the outcome remains the same, like in [i:1rij0ml4]The Time Machine[/i:1rij0ml4]?

- Welcome Time! I think you'll enjoy your time here. I've been enjoying it thus far and I think there is a lot of advice and experience worth cultivating through discussion. I'm eager to attend some of these 'seminars' that some members hold. Perhaps we'll have some dialogue on the threads in the coming days!

The internet existed but there was no WWW nor mice, nor pics, vids, audio and all the other things that actually make up the internet these days. Oh why did you have to remind me of those days¿
