If you're looking for information from a highly trained career or guidance counselor please stop reading this article now. However, if instead you would like some ideas on how to manage time and set priorities from someone who used to fail miserably at such things then this is the place you want to be. *** I HAD TO COMMIT *** For a long time I had dreams of being a successful writer. I would sign up for this course or take that class knowing that I really had it in me. Then life got in the way and I never followed through with my quest. I had to commit to a plan and stick to it before I would realize my visions. Believe me, this isn't always easy. Just yesterday I was planning to work the full day on my writing aspirations. Then I got a phone call that changed everything leaving me no time to get my work done. In the past that would have set in motion patterns of frustration leaving in its wake several days of not following my plan. Today though, I've changed. That's why I got up at 4AM and I am busily getting my writing goals completed before rushing off to meet the "real" day that waits before me. *** I HAD TO TAKE BABY STEPS *** Have you ever asked someone for directions on how to get from point A to point B only to find out that they are very familiar without how to do exactly that? * Take a left at Begal * Go 2.43 miles then veer left on to Manor * After the 3 rd light post on the right side… WAIT!!!! You cry. I need to write this down or I'll never remember. And you're right. The same is true for any path you take. It's amazing how many well-intentioned people have "the step you can't miss". The problem is, if you spend your time following every "great idea" you won't have the time to put wings around your bottom line concept. Perhaps they really do have the "perfect idea" that you "must follow." Write it down. Follow your preexisting plan. And as you have time to investigate their suggestions further do so. But first, keep to your initial plan. *** I HAD TO GET CREATIVE *** For me… * Paper lists do not work * Daytimers get lost * Memory's not what it used to be Only an electronic agenda in the form of favorite links built into my Internet Explorer worked. I've never seen anyone else use what I have built, but that's okay. The bottom line is that it works for me. Find what "really" works for you and create a plan you can stick to and reference on a day-to-day or perhaps moment-to-moment basis. *** I MUST CONCLUDE *** Sure, there are other ideas to add to this equation. However, if you… * Commit To A Plan * Make Your Plan Reasonable * Reference Your Plan Regularly You will be well on your way to knowing how to manage time and set priorities. If I had time to say one more thing, it would be "go easy on yourself". If you follow a well established plan even 80% you will be well ahead of not having a plan to follow at all.
