Are you finding yourself consistently out of time or you find that you don't have enough time to get the things done that you have to do? Are the distractions of life getting in your way of you having a productive day and accomplishing what it is you have set out to do? Perhaps the possible cause of this dilemma is a case of "Compulsive Reaction" - by definition is a behavior disorder that a person is uncomfortable with conditions of ambiguity and uncertainty of the present. In other words, reacting to things based on the most recent items that you've added to your to do list. You see given all of the options life provides us allows for exponential distractions whereby we begin to feel guilty and ineffective on our success because of the never-ending cycle of always having more to get done in the minimal time allotted or "Process Paralysis". So, let's talk about some possible remedies to overcome life's impeding challenges. First ask yourself what is truly important and what are you really working to accomplish based on the value of the task at hand. Then take some time to evaluate how your time is really being spent. "Time Management" is a product of "Self Management". It is not about finding more time to get things done, but more about what you must do to become more effective with the time we all have - "24 Hours". Focus on accomplishing specific tasks in reasonable time. Try devoting 50 minutes to a specific task and then allow for 10 minutes of unfocused time to give yourself a break in every given hour. List out your priorities in these specific categories: Emotional (e.g., feeling successful, etc.), Physical (e.g., workout regiment, etc.) and Mental (e.g., learning a new language, etc.). Now prioritize the work that has to get done. Further evaluate how you are allocating your time. Consider the 80/20 Rule: 80% of the effect will produce 20% of the intended result. The opposite is also true: 20% of your effort will produce 80% of the intended result. Provide more focus on your strengths and not your weaknesses. Always bring balance between the "Have To's" and the "Want To's". Remember to set personal boundaries for yourself based on the unnecessary non-productive tasks. Become comfortable with saying "No" to unnecessary tasks with lesser priority. It is better to develop a success ritual than a bad habit. Get creative with your priority list and streamline your best efforts. Now put things into perspective, determine your "Marginal Value of Time". You should substitute into the formulas your own compensational value. This can be easily calculated as follows: for example if you determine your yearly value to be $60,000 working only 20 hours per week ($60,000/20 hours) = $3,000 per week/50 weeks = $60 per hour (assumes 100% productivity - not really realistic). Therefore a 30% marginal factor must be taken into account with life's distractions that calculates out as $60 per hour/.30 = $200 per hour. Now if you find yourself spending your time on non-productive tasks, you might want to think twice about how you might be spending your time and how much value of your time you are losing.
