Do you struggle for Time?

Are you always running late for appointments and meetings? Do you always seem to be busy but never get what you want done ? 



Here are a few ways to get you started in managing your time better...


  1. Know how you spend your time - Write down your plan for the week and schedule in everything you already know you are doing. Include your commutes, your breakfast, your lunch, gym time, and whatever else you can think of.
  2. Set your priorities - Schedule in your most important tasks and make a To Do List for the rest.
  3. Schedule time appropriately - If you have 15 mins spare and have a small job that needs doing fit in in there. Block out time for your important tasks.
  4. Eliminate Distractions - Things like games, Facebook, chatting about nothing in particular to friends...you can do this at the end of your day when you have achieved your priorities. Unplanned phone calls, let your voice mail pick up, you can call back later at a more convenient time for you.
  5. Delegate - Don't try to do everything yourself, get help where you can.
  6. Avoid Multi-Tasking - Do one thing at a time and then move to the next. You will find more focus and better concentration this way.
  7. Stay Healthy - Don't overtask yourself, always remember to take 10 min breathers through out the day where you can relax and keep the stress away.
I like to write out my plan for the week and then do a daily plan too....You will be surprised how much spare time you will find by doing this practice and becoming more productive with your time :-)

Have an Empowered and Productive Week

Much Love & Gratitude
