You can usually tell how successful someone is by how much they
respect their time.
Your time on this earth is finite, it’s ticking down for you this very
minute.
Imagine you’re in a rocking chair at the age of 90. When you look
back on your life do you want to see you fritted it away or would
you prefer to be able to smile and know you did what you truly
desired?
It’s what you do with your time that matters. Remember, your
time is precious. Time itself is unmanageable despite all the ‘time
management’ waffle in print. It goes on doing its thing regardless
of you. The answer to ‘time management’ is to manage your
actions instead.
Don’t allow others to take your time and break your
concentration when they feel like it.
This means cutting out distractions when you are working and
prioritising your actions.
Do you think you can usually pick up the phone and get straight
through to someone who is very successful?
I don’t think so.
You need to make an appointment first which gets allocated to you
by them. They are in control of what they do with their time.
Respect And Protect Time
Top Tips: Each day set aside at least one prime time action hour (preferably
more – I have 5) where you only work towards your most important goals.
Accept no distractions. Do not answer the phone, read the mail, read email,
talk to co-workers, friends, family or even pets!
