Eliminate Stress and Reclaim Lost Time
Work, meetings, deadlines, appointments, phones ringing, groceries, driving kids around etc. - all these are things most people have to get done every daily. I bet you find that your important things get shoved to the waiting list. Things like family, friends and even ourselves. Sometimes we discover too late that the our waiting list contains the most important things in our life and, unfortunately, sometimes, we don't realize this at all. Is it any wonder why so many of us find ourselves so unhappy.
There are different books and seminars that help us find the best options for managing our time is. I have found that the Sedona Method offers a wealth of information and solutions to managing our life.
All these people know that time is more than money - time means, first of all, life and, more than that, it means our lives. That is way we have the obligation not to surrender in stressful situations and to go fighting for the joy of living. Let's not forget also that poor management of time can produce health problems, both at the physical and mental level.
But there is good news! Time can be domesticated - we can make it, in certain manner, obey us. The first step in implementing this process is to identify the elements that steal your time away. Normally, they are divided into two groups:
- The external factors (unexpected phone calls, extended phone conversations, unplanned visits, the policy of open doors, not sufficiently trained personnel, frequent meetings, interruptions caused by colleagues, friends and family etc.)
- The internal factors - what we do wrong in time management (priorities and objectives that change, the lack of a daily working plan, lack of self imposed deadlines, the tendency to take care of too many things at the same time, disorder, lateness in resolving the conflicts, incapacity of saying no, lack of decision, tiredness).
Can you now see where your time is going? Well now, all you have to do is to find a way to defeat and eliminate them, so that you can be the mater of your own time again. I know it is easier said than done, but here are three ways in to get you started:
- Get used to write everything down. By doing this you remove the stress of forgetting something. Also start a journal to write down great ideas and inspirations that occur to you in the most unexpected moments.
- Make a list of priorities. It takes you very little time to do and you can even do it while you're having your morning coffee. Write down, the things you need to do that day, in the order of their importance and urgency. Then cross each item off as it is finished. The feeling of accomplishment!
- Learn to say no. One big mistake that a lot of us make is that we put other people's problems in front of ours. This isn't to say don't help others, just be aware of your current commitments. Nothing is more stressful than to feel resentment towards another because of things you have promised them you would do.
Time Management is a way of life. You will be amazed at how good you feel when you are in control of your time.
