Time management & personal efficiency

Ambitious people usually set themselves more to do than allow time to do it

How many times do you hear people saying ‘I didn’t have time’, ‘I ran out of time’ ‘There wasn’t enough time’ ‘ I need to manage my time better’, ‘I need more time’. ‘I don’t have enough time to do all the things I want to’. Maybe you hear yourself saying some of these things, I certainly do!

For some reason we are trying to avoid a very clear truth. We all have only 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Time is the most inelastic thing there is. It is a standard currency all over the planet. We cannot change it! All we can change is ourselves!

The apparent shortage of time in our life is because of a mismatch between what we are trying to do and the way we are trying to do it and the time we have available to do it.

What is the most obvious sign when a person is not in control of their time? It is usually that there life is full of the clutter of things they have not been able to handle or complete.

To be in control of our time, or more accurately our activity and the space we live in, has been a dream for centuries. Can you be sure that if you give time to one thing you can feel confident that others will get their due attention? With the tools available to us today we have a better chance than we have ever had.
