Understanding Your Personal Energy Cycle

An important piece of productivity conce s what time of day you select to work on which activities. Everyone has a natural time during the day when they are "UP" (prime time) and a natural time when they are "DOWN" (down time). During prime time, your brain is "on"; your batteries are charged and you're able to focus. During down time, your brain feels "slow"; it's difficult to muddle through your work. First, let's chart your energy levels. Get out a piece of paper and draw

Observing Successful People

I thought about my subscribers on Saturday night and realized that you can learn a lot from observation. Simple, right? Let me explain. A good friend of mine bought, virtually on a whim, a new, nearly $3,000,000 home. I didn’t even know he had purchased it. They were “keeping it a secret.” Then he invited me over to play pool, billiards if you will, which we do quite regularly. But, of course he had to give me the new address. It was stunning: 16 acres. 7500 square feet. Bea

The Top Ten Ways To Gai 2 Hours A Day Or More!

When you gai 2 hours a day, that is 14 hours a week and a whopping 728 hours a year or 18.2 workweeks! Take a look at the list below and implement a few - if not all - of them and see how much time you gain this week and how much more you accomplish! (Note: The time saved listed is per day! They are also very conservative estimates.) 1. Turn off the TV. We may as well start at the easy one. The average person watches 3 hours a day. So turn it off for one of those hours. Do

The Hottest Time Management Tip

Q. What's your hottest tip for managing one's time effectively? GM, San Rafael, CA A. The number one tip I would give would be to get yourself to the point where you know what the most important things are to you, those that when done will move you on toward your goal. And so much so that it becomes second nature to you so that when it comes time to make a decision as to what you will do or how you will spend your time, you will make the right choice. You see time managemen

The Myth Of What We Manage

Perhaps it is merely semantics, but an underlying problem I find that people have as it relates to the success in their life lies in a proper understanding of what exactly it is that we manage. Think about it. We have time management (In fact I have a seminar on this very topic, some of which is excerpted below), and financial management, and relational management, weight management, career management, and many, many more. The fact is though, that we don’t manage any of thos

Your Dreams Can Be Your Future

Here is a basic truth you must accept and believe if you are to achieve your dream… Your dream can be a reality! That’s right, your future can actually see you living your dream. It doesn’t just have to be a big wish! When we are young we are dreamers. Nothing seems too big for us to accomplish. Nothing seems too outrageous. The world is ours on a string as the old song goes. Until… “Reality” hits. Reality is what others want to box you in with: “You can’t do that.” “Nobody

Six Foundational Reasons For Managing Your Time

Most of us know how to manage our time. It is pretty simple really. What most of us miss are compelling reasons to manage our time. We know the “how” but miss the “why.” Here are six foundational reasons I have that motivate me to manage my time and myself properly. It is a matter of stewardship. I view my life as not my own. I am merely a steward of it. I am given control over it for some 70 years and I should make wise decisions with it! This is a great sense of responsibi

Help! My Time Is Completely Uncontrollable!

I met recently with a client at Denver Water for his 1-on-1 “In the Trenches” appointment to get organized. When I first arrived, he stated, “I would be completely organized if it weren’t for other people. As it is, my day is so uncontrollable that I never have enough time to get things done.” Sound familiar? Many people place blame on exte al forces to some degree. It’s easy to do and understandable. Interruptions are very frustrating, especially when you have a nice to-do

Spend Less Time At Work And Get More Done

Sounds too good to be true? It really isn’t! In fact, studies show that after a certain amount of hours at work each week, the average worker hits diminishing returns for their labor. Here are a couple of reasons this is true. Family drain. Does your spouse or family complain that you work too much? This puts strain on you when you’re at work and limits your effectiveness. Cutting out five or more hours a week and spending it with your family will make them happier and that

A Little Equation That Creates Big Results

The purpose of man is in action not thought - Thomas Carlyle Often people will ask me how I get so much done in my life. They wonder at how I am able to accomplish so many things. The answer is found not in what a great person I am, but in an equatio I came up with a few years ago and remind myself of on almost a daily basis. And when I live this equation out, it produces big results. What people don’t seem to grasp is that this equation will work for anybody! Anyone can see

Time Management Mastery

From Potential to Performance One of the great things about life is that we can realistically be or do anything we choose to. This includes being a good time manager! We must believe that we can be a good time manager – that we have the potential. Unfortunately, many people say, “Well, I am just a poor time manager,” as if it was ingrained in their DNA. The truth is that anyone can be a great time manager, if they choose to go from potential to performance. So, how do we do

Big Dreams - Big Rewards

I talk a lot about dreams, if you haven’t noticed! That’s because I believe every single person has a dream inside of them just waiting to be turned loose! Each man and woman has a desire to do something great, to achieve excellence or to go somewhere wonderful. Most of the time these dreams have been hidden or forced inside because of fear. Many times these dreams have been put on the back burner to simmer while a “normal” life goes on. I am on a one-man mission to destroy t

Be Realistic: There Is No Limit To What You Can Do

Have you ever thought about what you could do, if you really decided to? I'm not merely talking about what your skills, education and talents are capable of. I'm talking about what is really possible for you. There is a very real possibility that you can do virtually anything. Not alone, not with out new information, but certainly within your ultimate grasp. Now many people would say to me, "Jim, be realistic. Some things are just not possible."

Your Greatest Resources

When people think about pursuing something, they usually first take a look at their resources to determine whether or not they can do it. That is a wise thing to do. But where most people fail in this process is when they look at their resources to determine whether or not they can do it, they are usually taking stock of the wrong resources. Most people immediately look at money. “How much money do I have?” they ask. Sure, we need to know how much money we have, but money i

Stop Just Writing About Your Past And Start Writing Your Future!

“The history of free men is never written by chance, but by choice – their choice.” Dwight D. Eisenhower. Many people spend a lot of time on their history. Some do it purposefully with such hobbies as jou aling, while others simply write and rewrite their history over and over in their minds. Depending upon the way you go about this, this can be good or bad. If you are doing it so you can reflect back on your life, that’s good. If you are doing it so you can learn from your

Redeveloping Your Vision

One of the most important things we can do for our businesses, schools, and organizations is to have vision. Vision being a clear picture of a desired end result that you are aiming for. However, sometimes, no matter how big our vision was originally, we find ourselves focusing in on the daily events that require our attention but have nothing or little to do with our ultimate vision. Occasionally, we think to ourselves, “Hey, I’m not really getting any closer to my vision.
