Time ManagementWritten by Joe Cirillo
Can’t find time for time management? You’re not alone. Most of own at least one book on time management, many of us own several but all books in world won’t help us alleviate our problem, in fact in an ironic sort of way collecting time management books will only serve to increase our stress level instead of lessening it.It’s important to understand value of time but answer is not to try and cram in more than will fit! It’s pretty easy to let time management linger in back of our minds as something we should do, but simply can’t find time. Does this sound familiar? A long morning run before watering and weeding plants, before going off to an eight-hour work day (plus commute time), a lunch meeting, a 3 p.m. presentation where you’ll need to be fresh and alert, a dental appointment after work, grocery shopping, cooking, an evening tennis game, reading, TV, thinking guiltily about that craft or woodworking project you started in 1998…. And what about unscheduled time-wasters, such as searching fruitlessly for right-size coffee filter? Or reluctantly taking that phone call from an old windbag friend who has won more talk-a-thons than you have won tennis matches? If this sounds like a day in your life – or if you wish your schedule could be this “relaxed,” then you have hit wall, and have probably bounced off it a few times. You are in task overload and it’s time to apply some time management skills to help you gain back those wasted hours. So, do you acknowledge that you could benefit from learning to better your time management? Good! You’ve completed step one and you are ready to delve headlong into It’s Your Time, where time management is as easy as one through seven.
