Time Control.
Well its not getting easier is it? – controlling your time. The amount of ‘stuff’ out there we can be distracted by increases it seems exponentially every day.
And as all the connected world continues to bundles fact and information as ‘entertainment’ to keep our jangled senses tuned to their particular waveband – time flutters away.
How easy is it to lose two three hours, a whole day infront of the computer and achieve…?
Use to be, for me, video games – a whole day gone and I still lost(the game – life?). But now there is Twitter and MySpace and FaceBook and the blog and , whats that other thing ? -O yea – email, and will you stop bothering me with questions I’m on the computer. Honey
Well like everything else that is in Your world, its unfortunately – UP to You. Up to Me, to order our lives. Mummy aint go do it anymore.
Ok – well How?
Funny you should ask.(P.S. the following takes effort – yea even I’ve stopped reading now)
To make the best use of your time, wait for it – you need to know what is the best use of your time, for you. See how easy.
Ok lets start again.
What do you want? Where do you want to be in five years, ten years?
Waste some time (as it were) figuring that out.
Now all goals are changeable, no-one ever goes straight to anything long term, you adjust and re-confgure and adjust. But have an end in sight at all times.
From your long term goal, break it down.
ok to achieve that – it means by next year, I need to be…which means by next month I have to have completed… which means by next week, which means today…?
You need to do what. Now?
Ok.Do it.
As your day unfolds – what are you doing to achieve that goal for today, that allows the goal to be achieved next week, that allows…
Putting time into long term goals as opposed to just reacting to whatever comes along (that would be probably other peoples goals?) – means you are now spending time on the Vital (to you) rather than the urgent (which has no lasting effect on your well being)
And you can have – long term personal goals, spiritual goal, financial goals, family goals – that must all align with some overarching long term goal.
Spend time (time again) thinking about where you want to be five years from now. Happy?(what does that mean to you – what is happy to you) Financially well off? (how much money would you need to be’well off’ – no really work it out – how much?) LIve where? here, another country – an island, by a lake – where? Married,(what kind of pertner are you looking for, what kind of characteristics, exactly) single, a leader of…etc.
AND WRITE IT DOWN. WRITE IT ALL DOWN . AND PUT A DATE ON IT. (take a month, take a year – its worth it)
Then work it backwords – AND WRITE IT DOWN. ALL OF IT. The yearly goal, the monthly goal, next weeks goal.
And then put in some time today that gets next weeks goal, that gets next months goal that gets…
Once you have a goal set (that is key for you) – the discipline to act on that goal comes with it.
Enthusiasm, belief in your self, and your goal, visualize, daily, hourly if you have to.
And you will control, not time (you cant actually ever do that – O I didnt mention that? ) – You will control your life.

PLUS
I am about to release two e-books, almost work books – one on Success, and one on Time Management. Both will deal with goal setting of course, financial, and personal, and health goals and others.
Books that are an amalgam of my many failures and successes and the hundreds of books I have read of the subject, and the information gleaned from knowing a lot of highly successful, highly charged people. Some who are wealthy, and some who are just joyful.And a lot who are both.
Go this page – two e-books – and I assure you they will be of use to you.
