Where does the time go?Written by Coach Pat Morgan
Ever find yourself wishing you had just a few more hours in day to get it all done? Between work and family responsibilities alone, it can be challenging to juggle time for everything. Surely we were created for more than a life on a continuous treadmill where we never seem to catch up. Futurists predicted that, in 21st century, work would be done in virtual organizations and paperless offices. Some even said that work week would drop to 35, or even 30 hours, and that too much leisure time could become a problem. Most of us are not quite there yet, are we? Actually, over past quarter-century, time Americans spend at work has continued to rise. Our world seems to be speeding ahead faster than our comfort level and creating effects like stress, exhaustion and other health problems, to name a few. In business, constant pressure to reduce costs and to do more with less often leaves employees in an unending cycle of overwork and overwhelm which ultimately affects productivity and efficiency of organization. What is solution? Time management can help. Or rather, more effective use of time can help. When you think about it, we don't really manage time, but rather manage ourselves and how we choose to spend each 24 hour day we are given. By having tools and support available, we can better manage ourselves and choices we make. Tips for Managing Use of Time... 1. TAKE A LOOK AT WHERE YOU SPENDING YOUR TIME. It may sound odd to suggest taking time in an already busy schedule to assess how you are using time. Try tracking your time for next week and see just how you spend it. Becoming more aware of how you use time can help you identify opportunities for changes that may alleviate time pressures. Ask yourself: Where does time go? Is there a change I can make to spend time more wisely?
