This week I want to give you some tips on saving time. If your life is anything like mine, you never have enough hours in the day to get everything done. You wish you could slow down time while simultaneously speed up productivity. Whether you are a swamped salesperson, homemaker or entrepreneur, these proven time-mangement strategies will help you manage your life and get more done in less time. So, let's get started. Now is the time.
Tip #1 - Rethink Time Management
I've often thought that I could get more done if I simply became a better time manager. Although this is a great idea, it doesn't work in the real world. You cannot manage something that remains in perpetual motion. In his book, Time Traps, Todd Duncan argues that time management is impossible. He says, "you can't manage time or control time any more than you can lasso the wind and tie it to a fence post."
Quit waisting time trying to manage your time. You can only manage what you do with your time. Time is the most precious commodity available to us. You can always make more money, but you can't make more time. Take a few minutes today and evaluate what you are doing with your time. Remember, you might not be able to manage the clock, but you can control what you do with every tick.
And that's the truth on time.
