"You
cannot manage time - you can only manage your actions,
what
you do with the time you have."
- Steve
Chandler
From Steve Chandler:
Victims are victims of their own to-do lists. They make the list
up, stare at the multitude of tasks to be done, and feel overwhelmed. They
think to themselves, "I have more to do than I can possibly get
done." That thought alone acts as a central nervous system depressant.
Just thinking "I have more to do than I can possibly get done" causes
the victim to lose energy. Soon a huge sense of overwhelm and fatigue sets in.
Consciousness clouds over. Weariness and depression set in. The victim looks
back down at the list and picks it up in a limp hand and then tosses it down.
When someone peeks in at the victim and says, "Gotta minute?" the
victim says, "Of course." Now the victim talks for twenty minutes
about something not even on the list! It gets worse, and there's no end to
this.
The owner realizes something that this victim does not realize.
Time management is not a matter of managing tasks, or time, or learning to
multitask, or becoming more organized, or any of that. Time management is about
courage. Plain and simple. It is a boldness issue, and only boldness will solve
the problem of time management. Only courage will demolish that list.
I want to add the following:
Watch this short video on how to put into practice what Steve
talks about above - blocking your time each week and committing to those
appointments with yourself to ensure you get the right things done!
I put together an 8 minute video that sets up an Ideal Week (that
is recurring) for a leader/coach to follow. It gets the rhythm going in your
business and will over time, with consistency and compounding, change your
business, your team, you and your life.
Here it is and remember knowing is not enough we must do!
