8/9/2024-“I’ll spend my time MY way!”
Skill

Typically, sellers get a tad indignant when they hear "time management." ("Don't be judging ME on where I spend my time!")

Fair.

Think of TM as a productivity game…not a judgment game.

These keys may help you with any time struggles you have:
1. Understand where you spend your time.
2. Build a disciplined scheduling system. (Frequently say "no.")
3. Set goals and dedicate your time to your goals.

It's all really about #3…if you're super focused on your goals, your time spent efficiency will be where you need it to be.

Do

It doesn't pay to be a time martyr.

Starting today, stop blaming time.

No more bad talking "time." (What did time ever do to you?)

Avoid saying things like, "I don't have the time." Or, "I ran out of time." Or the worst, "I'm so busy."

Fess up: you roll your eyes when others say those things…what do you think they do when you blurt 'em out?

Everyone's busy. Nothing you say will change the fact that there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, etc.

Today, celebrate your power to decide where your time goes.

"I'm not gonna put my toilet visits in a diary!" is a classic line from this parody about TM and calendar management.

The ridiculous dialogue between the boss and his admin highlights how TM messes with everyone. When we need it to go slow, it goes fast; when we need it to go fast…etc.

Mastering time might be impossible. Instead, focus on your goals and you'll ge great. The rest will take care of itself.
