Time is money! Yet a lot of people seem to waste their time, and then wonder why they are not as successful as some other people. You literally have more potential than you could possibly use in 100 lifetimes. Once you learn to master these few simple time management strategies, you can take control of your life literally discipline yourself into financial freedom.
1. Plan ahead- A lot of people fill their days with things that are not going to help their financial future. Right before you go to bed each night make sure that you make a list of all the things that you need to do the next day. Then, take that list and organize it so that the things that will have the greatest impact on your future are at the top while all other things migrate to the bottom.
When you wake up, do the things at the top first! While there may not be enough time in a day to accomplish everything, by accomplishing the most important things first you set yourself on the fast track to success. In making this list you will soon see that some of the things that you thought were important really are not as important as you thought.
2. Always work from a list- Schedule everything that you do in your day. Eat, nap, read, whatever you are going to do for that day give it a time and stick to your schedule. If something new comes up that has to be done, just simply add it to your schedule. You will be amazed at how much you can get done when you plan out your day ahead of time.
3.Break large tasks down into smaller ones. As a human being you get great satisfaction out of completing a task. Your body releases endorphins, and you can literally become addicted to success. The best way to work on and grow this habit is to break down large tasks into smaller ones with time limits. Assemble everything that you will need for that task and work at it (without distractions) until the task is 100% complete.
With these time management strategies you will soon see that you have plenty of time to do the things that you really want to do that you never had time to do before. The law of the six "p's" says "proper prior planning prevents poor performance."
