How to get more done in good time

We eventually end up regretting every second we spend doing nothing or doing nothing profitable. We then go on to complain that we have so little time to do so much but if God shared our views He probably would have given us more hours in a day, but He didn’t.

The time we have is enough if we can learn to prioritize our activities and scratch out the unimportant, unproductive things we do. Every second we spend is gone forever; we cannot retrieve time but we can manage it well. Time waits for no man. Just follow these simple steps:

1. .       First thing in the morning, write out your to-do list for that day. If you don’t do it now, you probably won’t have the chance again.
2. .        Organize the contents of the list in order of importance.
3. .       Allocate time slots to each activity and deadlines too.
4. .       If possible, set reminders around you. You can use electronic devices (Tablets PCs, iPod, etc.) or you can use sticky notes or better yet tell your friends to remind you.
5. .       You need to be disciplined. No one can teach you that. You’ll just have to learn it yourself.
6. .       Understand that you’ll probably not accomplish everything that day. Carry the minor activities over to the next day OR leverage other people’s time.
7. .       Make sure you follow up on your list and go through it at the end of the day.
