From Potential to Performance
One of the great things about life is that we can realistically be or do anything we choose to. This includes being a good time manager! We must believe that we can be a good time manager - that we have the potential. Unfortunately, many people say, "Well, I am just a poor time manager," as if it was ingrained in their DNA. The truth is that anyone can be a great time manager, if they choose to go from potential to performance.
So, how do we do this? Here is a simple 7 part process:
1. Believe that you can become a good time manager
2. Inventory where your time is currently being spent
3. Determine what your life values are - what do you view as important, what do you want to accomplish?
4. Set time priorities that will move you toward living out your values
5. Develop a system of scheduling that works best for you, not a time management conglomerate
6. Learn to say "no" to things that are not part of your priorities moving you toward your values - exercise your power to choose
7. Do what is in your new schedule
These simple steps, if you apply them, will take you from having the potential to be a good time manager to true time management mastery and performance!
