I’m trying to find some methods that will help me better manage my time. I know that part of successful time management is diligency and discipline, but I need some other tips. Care to share your ideas?
This is a big issue for so many of us..One of the best books I have read that helped me a lot is 'Eat that Frog' by Brian Tracy. Brian's biggest tip is religiously using lists for everything you want to get done each day, then prioritising these in order of importance (not necessarily urgency) and then focussing on the 20% of the tasks that will get you the most results. Off course you will never be able to get caught up on everything you want to do, therefore going for the most important tasks you can complete each day first is going to get you furthest in the quickest amount of time.
Mandee there are many methods of Time Management. I use the 3D's. Do it, Delegate it, or Dump it. I also espouse a Trinity of Success “Purpose-Vision-Goals” they both go hand in hand. I wrote articles on both before I joined TSA. Go visit my Blog http://dirtnaponhold.com/ The dates were 4/5 and 4/26. You might pick up some tips that will work for you. I applaud you for reaching out and wish you every success.
