Today
is the only time available to save the exciting activities that can
bring you closer to reaching your goals. The experiences of yesterday,
however, yield important lessons for successful living today, and the
future holds the promise of growth and exciting success. Both are
important to your success, but the most important objective is to live
life in the present.
* Prioritize. One use of time that
frequently inhibits productivity is doing things that don't advance
important goals. List your tasks each day and prioritize them according
to their importance to your success. Then, focus on your most important
tasks first.
*Examine your attitude. If you wish to
improve your efficiency and productivity, you must begin by examining
your attitude. Determine which attitudes are productive and which are
not. Design a plan to change unproductive attitudes or to modify your
behavior so that you can become more productive and successful.
*
Give yourself a change. Often, good ideas go down the drain merely
because no one takes the time to explain them to others, believing
"it's no use, they won't ever agree or try it." Time spent in
presenting a new idea and gaining its acceptance is always time well
spent.
* Think of time as money. Identifying 30
minutes you waste every day and spending it productively will add the
equivalent of 22 eight-hour work days to your time every year. Think
what this would mean to productivity.
