Imagine finding time to: • Fulfill life’s daily demands, • Make headway on your big goals, and • Be able to pursue your favorite and most self-nurturing activities. I know I don’t have to tell you … that can be a very tall order, requiring lots of focus and discipline!

Do you say you’ll find time for that weekend away or that special event “another time”?

There are few things as overwhelming as feeling buried in clutter. Whether it’s your in-box, your To-Do List, or your kitchen cabinets, clutter is confusing, discouraging, and energy-draining.

Try thinking of yourself as a gardener, as you survey whatever is cluttering your life. Imagine the new potentials you can open up for yourself as you clear away the non-essentials.

Do you know anyone like that?

Thoughts determine action. Focused action leads to accomplishment. Feeding the right thoughts

People often look around their world and see what they believe to be ove ight successes. They look at super achievers and think that they achieved their success due to a lucky break or that they made it to the pinnacle of their career without much effort at all.

Any way you look at it, strong conflict resolution skills will free up enormous amounts of your time.

Here is how you can apply this model to effectively manage your time choices: 1) Precontemplation Stage

Challenges and obstacles are all a very necessary part of any success journey. Ask any super achiever, who has achieved their success, despite having overcome numerous challenges and obstacles, along their path to success. If they could go back and do it all over again, but this time around, they could avoid the greatest challenge, they faced the first time round.

You may be wondering how there can be a correlation between how you like to learn and a time management tip, but there is. The way you learn is also the way you like to process information. When you can get information in the format you like to learn in, you can save yourself time and make things easier for you. So think back to when you were in school. Was it easier for you to learn when you could see things like a map, table, or diagram (visual learner)? Were you able to le

What obstacles are preventing you from achieving your goal? What must you do to overcome them? Knowing what you must achieve is not enough. You have to anticipate the challenges you are likely to face. Think about what you can do to deal with those challenges and perhaps turn them into opportunities. Going back to the “millionaire goal” we used as an example earlier, some of the obstacles you could expect are Lack of know-how or training, lack of resources, difficult or no access to the people you need for your success, lack of inspiration or the correct mentors or coaches.r

Copyright 2004 by Dr. William G. Covington, Jr. One of the "behind the scenes" principles tapped by successful people is their ability to persevere, to keep on being productive in spite of circumstances. Consistent achievement leads to desired consequences. It is the ability to apply oneself to the tasks that lead to the fulfillment of a goal. Consistency is the opposite of working only when one feels inspired. Persistence requires discipline. A person waiting for inspirati

One of the great illusions about perfectionism is that it is the pursuit of excellence. Nothing could be further from the truth. Excellence is stymied and smothered by perfectionism. As artist and writer Julia Cameron has written: “Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.”

Huh? The advantages of being DISorganized?

It is time to Evolve or Dissolver Change is inevitable, before there were only two certainties in life, namely death and taxes. Now the ever changing and evolving world we live in, where the rate of change is accelerating daily, has seen a third certainty appear, namely “CHANGE”. This leaves you with two choices, bury your head in the sand and hope change won’t affect you or open your eyes and discover ways to use change to your advantage, by innovating and discovering new ways of doing things. Innovation is no longer a luxury – It is a Necessityr

To overcome chronic procrastination you must first understand the causes of procrastination, and there are many. One cause is the fear of failure or success, many procrastinators will get the difficulty of the work finished ahead of time and put it off instead of actually completing it. Another cause is overestimating the time you have left to complete the work that needs to be done. Another very common cause of procrastination is believing you have to be in the right mood to

We are bombarded by interruptions and distractions all day long. They affect our focus and cause us to lose time getting back up to speed. If we can increase our productivity by just six minutes each day, we’ll increase our productivity by 24 hours each year. That’s three days of production this year over last! Imagine what it would feel like to have three days of work off your desk right now. Quelling the Noise

Punctuality is a real sign of discipline, a practice we try to instill in our youth through school bells. Not being on time is a sign of disrespect to someone or to the persons you are about to meet. Even the U.S. President George Bush is also a stickler for punctuality, going too far as to lock the door during Cabinet meetings when they begin. Thinking about it, it would rather be amusing to see the door handle jiggling form the outside by a Cabinet Secretary who arrived lat

It is possible to change everything in your life with one decision or a single thought. All that you need to do, to start this miraculous process, of creating exactly the future that you desire, is to make that one decision, to begin doing things differently.

This one single thought or single decision can: • Unlock your hidden potential • Improve your health • Create great wealth • Create great relationships and forge bonds of deep love and connection • Inspire new levels of joy and happiness.r

What if you could give yourself the gift of time and space to expand, deepen, and recharge your energy? Imagine giving that to yourself each and every day.

It offers the path to an ever deepening experience of your moments, and it opens doors to timelessness.

You control your destiny. If you understand that important fact, you’ll learn the greatest results come from creating and maintaining a positive self-image. Self-image reflects the visualization you have of yourself and develops from past events and future expectations. As you build and maintain a positive self-image, you become better in many ways. You develop an inner peace and happiness, which leads to increased success and positive mental attitude (“PMA”).

If you were asked to describe yourself in one word, what would that word be? Would it be something like, honest, obsessed, driven, compassionate, humorous, empathetic or any myriad of other possibilities? Write down the one word you would use to describe yourself. Is it the same word other people would use to describe you?

One of the major factors, which can limit your potential and hold you away from realising your dreams, is the opinions of other people. The secret to succeed and become all you can be is to live independently of the good opinion of other people. No one else’s opinion matters at all and in many cases the opinions, which are being expressed are coming from a place of insecurity on the part of the person expressing the opinion. They want to express their own insecurities and lack of determination, so that they can hobble you and your dreams.

As you travel on your journey towards the success you desire, you obviously understand the importance of having a purpose, vision, mission, a set of very clearly defined goals and finally individual goal specific actions, which you will carry out every day. Once you have this crucial structure in place and you are completely committed to achieving your goals. There are a few tools you can use to support you on your journey.

I believe that the true measure of a person is not found in what they do when they know people are watching, but rather how they conduct themselves even when they think no one is watching. Are you always cordial and empathetic when you deal with people, especially people who carry no sway over your life? When at the checkout at the supermarket, do you smile and greet the person behind the counter.

Society has trained us over the years to turn down the volume on our intuition. We have become to doubt our intuition so much, that we no longer listen to or even believe in our intuition. Your intuition is that little voice inside you that knows before you even think about anything. What little voice I hear you say. It is that little voice that just asked that question. Begin to trust your intuition once again; it is one of the most powerful forces any leader can have at their disposal.

The saying you have to spend money to make money is a very true statement. You need to be willing to invest in your business for it to grow and thrive.

I have been searching for that one catalyst, which turns some people into super achievers and keeps others trapped in mediocrity. I have come up with a number of complicated hypotheses, but the one, which seems to offer the greatest promise, is this really simple one stated below. “When your desire for success exceeds your fear of failure and you discover your own unique reason why that specific level of success is important to you, then NO-THING will stop you from succeeding”r

The majority of people would rather vegetate in front of the television, keep spending major time on minor tasks, spend their days lost in a cycle of “BUSYNESS” and never read another book once they leave school. This makes achieving success and standing out really easy for the select few that commit to daily discipline. Invest their free time into learning and growing, have a crystal clear plan and utilize their available time effectively.

I am sure you have heard the cliché “Life is a Journey, Enjoy the Ride” Bandied about recklessly by people around you all the time. These same people then tell you that they are not enjoying their lives, but when they get the new promotion, their kids go off to varsity or they start to earn a certain amount, then things will change, then they will be happy and start to enjoy their lives. The time to be happy is from this moment forward and the time to be enjoying every step of the journey toward living the vision you have in your mind is right now.

You can never hope to move onto the path of sustainable success, where you will find meaning, value and fulfilment, unless you take inventory of your life first. Explore everything in your life and develop a clear understanding of your strengths and weaknesses. Take a really thorough look at everything and have the courage to let go or change the parts, which are not working and strive to nurture and develop the parts that are.

Finding time doesn’t need to be difficult. So, what does your ideal day look like? Would you recognize it if you stumbled upon it? Sometimes we get so caught up in the busy-ness of our lives that we lose sight of what we most value and enjoy. Productivity is important, but if we live too long without replenishing ourselves, we become less and less productive. Our energy flags and our creativity dries up. We are depleted and out of touch with the wellspring of our inspiration and vitality … ourselves!

Heart-based time management is all about finding time, increasing productivity, and deepening your experience of each and every moment.

You become a better person in every respect. You are better equipped to be a better spouse, friend, employee, entrepreneur, etc. and if directed properly even your health will improve.

Are you allowing the good opinion of other people to limit you in any way? Other people’s opinions can and should not have any sway on you or your life at all. The views expressed by the people around you, is really only an additional tool that you can use to explore any opportunities, overcome challenges or evaluate your progress. An opinion expressed by other people is effectively just another form of feedback. We get to choose how we want to use it or if it has no value at all to just ignore it altogether.

I remember, as a young man, my father used to offer me advice and direction. As great as his intentions were, I never realised that he was speaking from a standpoint of experience and wisdom and that he only wanted to help me avoid, making the same mistakes that he had made. On many occasions, I ignored my father’s advice and encountered numerous challenges and obstacles, which I could have avoided, had I had the foresight to realise that my father’s experience gave him an advantage and a far greater opportunity to be correct.

The numerous changes we see all around us every day and the roller-coaster economy, has presented us with a few new and interesting challenges. Everything continues to change, and will most certainly keep changing into the future. The markets are no longer the same, peoples buying habits and their demand for products has also changed. This continual and never ending ebb and flow of change and the on-going innovation all around us, is driving the development of new products, services and even ways of doing business.

Procrastination is like a prison – a self-fulfilling prophecy of denial, delay, frustration and failure. But that doesn't have to be the end of the story – not by a long shot! Finding time by overcoming procrastination is definitely within your reach. However, it requires more than efficiency tools. You will become much more effective and efficient with your time as you develop successful strategies to recognize and resolve the conflicts (both internal and exte al) that so often fuel procrastination.

I have often pondered the question around, what drives one person to consistently take the daily actions, which result in great success and what encourages someone else with the same potential, to sit back and do nothing. The research that I am conducting is pointing me towards, a finding that highly driven or inspired achievers find their strength in the power of their imagination. It seems that people, who can visualise a crystal clear picture of exactly what they want in their future, will endure short term pain for long term gain.

As a Motivational Speaker for the youth, I have had the chance to conduct a lot of interviews. And I also do a workshop on how to ace interviews as a part of my communication training. Every time someone mentions “multi-tasking” as a skill, I am torn between my desire to laugh on their face and inwardly cringe. Talk about mentioning the impossible.

Your success requires time management, and time management requires sticking to your priorities and making tough decisions every day. These days, many of us are working harder and putting in longer hours, just to get by. Do you know the feeling? The danger, of course, is that we lose ourselves in our work. You alone are in a position to decide what balance you want to strike between your work and your home. Whatever decision you make, you then actualize and maintain this choice with a boundary.
