Though it takes a lot of courage and sometimes (professional help) if you think you can't make up your mind to stop, postpone or just quit doing something that you feel isn't working for you. It can be very difficult because we believe that we might be seen as a failure. Absolutely love point #9. If we cannot clearly see what we wish to achieve or where we want to be or who we want to be with, we'll never be able to plan and take action in that direction. Thank you for sharing the points (I think they come from your life experiences). I second you point of not delaying jobs till the time they become urgent and add pressure in our already busy lives.

You’ll get request all the time particularly as you become more productive and manage your time better, others will see that and they’ll want you to participate in projects, causes, things that they have going on. Now, this isn’t to say that you always say no but you have to learn how to say no more often than you say yes because whenever you say yes to one thing you always saying no to something else. Now, what if it’s your boss making request or your customers? Well of course often, most often you’re going to want to say yes. But make sure that you always get a when. So, when someone asks you to do something, let say that your boss asks you to get a report to them, you always want to ask the question- “What is the deadline for this report? When do you need this from me?” That will allow you to make prioritized decisions about what you have in your calendar. Often it’s a common failure of managers and leaders to delegate lots of responsibilities to their employees but not give them clear deadlines on when they should be accomplished. This causes a lot of overlap and confusions to the employees.

Indeed, I'd say that making the to do list is the most important. After you've got it, things will start to settler and there will be time for anything on the list (and if not, you can always cut some items... lol) Hi Matt, thank you for your appreciation.

What I like about this is that it's simple to do! So many time management processes are long and detailed. The truth for many is that they don't use them. What do you think is THE most important part? I would say making a to do list. M Hi Simone,

Good article. What I like about this is that it’s simple to do! So many time management processes are long and detailed. The truth for many is that they don’t use them.

Just don't panic and things will get better. Missing a bus from time to time is not the end of the world, you know. And with the deadlines, they could be just too tight to be respected. Hi Jay,

Group everything, then attack one group at a time. Work with 15 minute blocks of time. "For the next 30 minutes I am going to call as many clients as I can that haven't been contacted in the last 6 months." During that 30 minutes refuse to take any incoming calls, even if it's a client that you left a voicemail for. Remember, you planned to "call" clients, not take calls from clients. This may seem silly, but if you allow any deviation in the plan, you'll end up shooting paper basketballs into the nearest trash can as you plan a lunch with your buddy in the next cubicle because, inevitably (without discipline) one thing leads to another. You can also plan a 30 or 45 minute block of "whatever" time. During this period you don't act, you only react. Take calls, answer NEW e-mails, do work that people hand you... this will allow you to take a break mentally while still getting some things done. You'll end up refreshed and ready to attack the next time block while refusing all distractions. That's the key: REFUSE ALL DISTRACTIONS!! Otherwise, there is no need to plan.
