Rethinking time management

Time management is a huge buzz word in our modern busy lives. No matter how many gadgets and gizmos we buy to make our lives more efficient, we always seem to be short on time. The main reason is that we’re never able to manage time, it is finite and keeps on moving with, or without us.

With that thought process you might think that your ability to get things done is futile. That thought would be wrong. While we cannot manage time, we can manage our focus and be purposeful about HOW we use the finite amount of time in our day.

By creating focus and learning a few simple skills, while the amount of time we have in the day doesn’t, change, our ability to manage our tasks becomes infinitely easier.

This month we are going to rethink time management and hopefully achieve the following:

• Create a balance between the different roles that you play in your life

• Manage your expectations for yourself, your work and your home life. 

• Set the right priorities to move you forward given what is going on.

• Take productive actions that are vital to a successful outcome.
