(Time Management, continued from page 19)


6. Attitude makes a big difference. Time management is as much mind set as it is skill set. Henry Ford said, “If you think you can, or think you can’t, either way you’re right.” Tasks are not always static. Doesn’t everything magically get done the day before you go on vacation? Why? Mostly motivation.


7. Apply the “single handling concept.” You can lose upwards of 50 percent efficiency by stopping and starting tasks. Think efficiencies all the time. Better yet, think effectiveness all the time.


8. You only have one life. Live it purposefully. Apply these principles to your whole life, not just your work. Identify what’s really important, create action plans to achieve goals that get the truly important things done.


Get it done one prioritized task at a time. This stuff isn’t brain surgery, but you do need persistence and discipline. Do you prefer chaos or achievement? Frustration or joy?


Regrets or satisfaction? It’s your choice.  
