Do you have that feeling of 24hrs not being enough? Well if you do, this one is for you and trust me when I say I understand, because the feeling is mutual. So, let just get down to business and not let time slip away from since we just have 24 hours and is it not enough.
But, if we were to face reality, we would realize is not time about time being insufficient, it is about knowing how well to treat time with the respect it demands. As it is said in economics, "resources are scarce and thus there is a need to manage our limited resources" this Idls very true, so guess which tops the scarcity list, well is not money as everyone thinks, time amongst all resources is scarce and very limited in supply, thus proper management is required for its full optimization and utility. Bearing this fact in mind, this particular piece is dedicated to offering 10 easy steps which will aid you in organization and management of your time.
As humans, you may be frequently interrupted or pulled in different directions. While you cannot eliminate interruptions, you do get a say on how much time you will spend on them and how much time you will spend on the thoughts, conversations and actions that will lead you to success.
1. Carry a schedule and record all your thoughts, conversations and activities for a week. This will help you understand how much you can get done during the course of a day and where your precious moments are going. You'll see how much time is actually spent producing results and how much time is wasted on unproductive thoughts, conversations and actions.
2. Any activity or conversation that's important to your success should have a time assigned to it. To-do lists get longer and longer to the point where they're unworkable. Appointment books work. Schedule appointments with yourself and create time blocks for high-priority thoughts, conversations, and actions. Schedule when they will begin and end. Have the discipline to keep these appointments.
3. Plan to spend at least 50 percent of your time engaged in the thoughts, activities and conversations that produce most of your results.
4. Schedule time for interruptions. Plan time to be pulled away from what you're doing. Take, for instance, the concept of having "office hours." Isn't "office hours" another way of saying "planned interruptions?"
5. Take the first 30 minutes of every day to plan your day. Don't start your day until you complete your time plan. The most important time of your day is the time you schedule to schedule time.
6. Take five minutes before every call and task to decide what result you want to attain. This will help you know what success looks like before you start. And it will also slow time down. Take five minutes after each call and activity to determine whether your desired result was achieved. If not, what was missing? How do you put what's missing in your next call or activity?
7. Put up a "Do not disturb" sign when you absolutely have to get work done.
8. Practice not answering the phone just because it's ringing and e-mails just because they show up. Disconnect instant messaging. Don't instantly give people your attention unless it's absolutely crucial in your business to offer an immediate human response. Instead, schedule a time to answer email and return phone calls.
9. Block out other distractions like Facebook and other forms of social media unless you use these tools to generate business.
10. Remember that it's impossible to get everything done. Also remember that odds are good that 20 percent of your thoughts, conversations and activities produce 80 percent of your results.

These are simple steps that could be practiced by almost anyone, you may not notice any remarkable improvement from the start, but assure you that if you are able to keep to these little disciplines, you will be shocked at the compound effect overtime. Now, permit me to take a bow an leave you guys for today, so stay positive, keep working towards success and I will definitely see you at the top.
