Are you lazy to manage your time?

Who plans your time for you?  Do you really plan your time daily?  Or you let life takes you wherever it wants to?

Time management is a skill needed for all the successful professionals. People who manage their time properly are the most achievers and most successful in business, arts, sports, and all other fields. Many people go through their day, not accomplishing much because they wait until they feel like doing what they want...

What is the most valuable resource on the planet? Is it gold, silver, or platinum? Is it food or water? Is it electricity or gas?

The real answer is none of the above. The single most important resource that any human being has is his own TIME.

It has been said that time is money, and truer words have never been spoken. As a human being there is one fundamental choice you're going to have to make, and that is how to spend this precious commodity: how you're going to spend...

"For fast-acting relief, try slowing down." – Lily Tomlin

My girl friend, a very successful business owner, and I, have been trying to schedule attending a local workaholics meeting since January. We're both too busy.

Truth be told, we're so busy, we are also using the workaholic's meeting as an opportunity to visit with one another on the ride over and back. Always multi-tasking – we are the poster children for out-of-control busyness.

As I was...

If you're like most business owners, you've probably lost track of how many times you've uttered the phrase, "There's just not enough time in the day."

It's only through experience that we develop our own unique methods for being more productive. During a recent time management workshop hosted by the Union County Economic Development Corporation, I started thinking about the habits I've developed in search of those elusive extra hours to get more done. Try these...

Congratulations!  If you're reading this article, you still have a computer, you're not panhandling on the street, and more than likely, you will eat at least one meal today. Somehow, in spite of Bernard Madoff, Goldman Sachs, Washington Mutual, AIG, all the doom and gloom, all the betrayals and disappointments, we're still checking email, still wearing clothes and still able to greet the morning sun. Yet we still sometimes succumb to the sense that we don't have enough, that we'll...

Time management has been a concern for me and I am sure for many of you out there, after setting your goals. At the end of the week, can you account for what you did? A little here, a little there and before you know it, you have not taken the massive action needed to meet your goals.

Before changing how I handled this problem, I would lay out a guide as to what I needed to do during the week or month, for...

To start with let's make it clear what a day planner is? A day planner is a small book/binder, which contains a diary, calendar and an address book. A day planner can also contain other useful information, such as maps, conversation tables and telephone codes. Day planners are portable and designed to be carried easily in a purse, briefcase or backpack.

Day planners are used throughout the world and go by many different names such as day planner (USA), personal organiser (UK),...

Get over it.   However, if you want an increase in disposable free time, read this article.  Trying to manage time in a hectic world is a topic that is just about as beaten up, abused and useless as my father's old suitcase. Just as managing your checkbook wisely will not give you more money, managing your time wisely will not give you more time. Besides, managing time takes time, when what is needed is to have less to do each day. Want more time? Do less. After some...

Whether you are a work at home mom, a new business owner, a seasoned entrepreneur, or anything in between, at some time or another you have probably run across the following scenario. You start your day at 8:00am, and look at your to do list. It seems about a hundred miles long, but you are confident that since you started the day early, . . . Well, you know what they say about the early bird, right? So, you roll-up your proverbial sleeves, and get to work! Next thing you know, it's...

Ladies can you relate to this scenario? Washing is mounting up, the next meal is waiting to be prepared, children are waiting to be picked up or dropped off, chores ought to be run and to top it all - you are a home based mommy! In the midst of all that busy-ness you really have to get some non-domestic goals done, such as write reports or research important information or make business telephone calls. Is it feasible to have the best of all possible worlds: domestic and professional?...
