Maximising Time

Following on from the wonderful success of my last workshop, I'm running my next one in a week and a half, all about Maximising Time.  Now I don't know about you, but I often get to the end of the day and wonder just where on earth it's gone.  There I am sitting at my laptop, I suddenly realise that it's 7pm, I feel like I've actually been quite busy all day, and yet when I look back on what I've actually achieved it seems like virtually nothing!  How did that happen?  Again?!

Some days I am focused, I get going and I keep going, the minutes and hours fly by and I get absolutely masses done.  I can look back over the day and give myself a massive pat on the back for all the things that I've gotten done.  When I look at my weekly actions list, I find that I've completed most of them in what feels like one sitting.

And then there are the other kind of days, the ones I mentioned at the start, the un-focused ones...  Does that make them fuzzy?  Out of focus?  That's the way they feel sometimes.  And perhaps that's exactly the problem.  As Stephen R. Covey says in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, "begin with the end in mind" - sound advice in my experience.  You see, I'm one of those easily distracted type of people, which means that I can spend half of my day flitting between email, facebook, internet stuff, accounts, laundry, oooh, anything, really!  And of those, which are the things that are really helping me towards completing my actions and taking those steps I need to get me closer to my vision?  Yup, the ones that actually have my desired end in mind!  It's when I focus on those that I have one of the second types of day, the ones where it all just seems to get done.

So more of those, methinks!  Now, back to work and selling out the Maximising Time workshop - anyone want to learn more of these little gems on the 21st Feb?  Click here to find out more!
