How To Manage Time

One of the biggest obstacles to success everywhere you look is the lack of someone making a decision to proceed with their goal. In other words, they have not yet made a decision. Thus, indecision is robbing them on any chance to move forward. What lies ahead, therefore, is the same old things, the same old job, the same old routine, and the same old self-incrimination that knows you can have more.

Once the decision has been made to set a goal in motion, comes one of the most important yet difficult transitions. And, that is to prepare yourself to stay focused on what you want, what you want to achieve, and what will be your rewards when your goal has been reached. Focus is the glue that keeps you rocketing forward as if your train was propelled by a nuclear engine. Focus keeps you moving constantly toward a goal accomplishment and does not permit you to lessen your activity. You should also be aware of the difference between the effective use of time, and the efficient use of time.

Efficient use of your time means that time spent on an activity or task is used in the most advantageous method. Contrast this to the effective use of time which means that while you are busy doing some tasks, these tasks are not crucial to moving you toward what really needs to be accomplished or completed. For example, if task ‘A’ is critical, and task ‘B’ is somewhat critical, and task ‘C’ could wait or is really not necessary, then effective use of time may be directed toward task “B’ or task ‘C’. To use your available time, and energy, your time should be directed toward the completion of task ‘A’ because its’ completion will keep your engine fueled and enable it to drive even further.
