Time Management - 1

Whether you're clever, stupid, the richest person in the world, or the poorest person in the world, you all have one thing in common.
You all have twenty four hours each day.

One way to find out if where all your time goes is to start an time log.
Do it for one week or more. Not less !! "self-discipline"
For instance, each time you change your activity make a note of the time you start and note the time that action ends.
So each time you change a task, you'll be noting the time.
Try not to miss out on any blocks of time.

If you are cleaning your castle you may want to break it down to something like:
8:00 Washed floors
9:45 Dusted curtains
10:00 Read Harvard Business Review
11:00 Talked on the skype phone
11:10 Made a cake
11:25 Clean the kitchen
12:00 Eat the cake


Okay, this week your job is to focus on your activities and record the time it takes you to complete each one. Don't worry about managing your time just yet, just be aware of how you are spending your time now.

Use a notebook for this. You are a beginner, learn with the basics.

Start Now ! ACT.
