We were meant to be surrounded with cool gadgets that did all those jobs we hate to do, and life was going to be about sitting around watching grass grow, or realizing with a cocktail by the pool.\u003cbr\u003eInstead it’s become more and more frenetic. With every new device created to make our lives simpler, the pace speeds up. Take away ten hours a week to hand wash all our clothes, replacing it with an hour tops to use a washing machine and dryer? We get some other work on our hands. Get a cool new gadget that let’s you surf the net anywhere? Suddenly people want us to call them at all hours of the night and day, and our off time seems to disappear into a huge abyss.\u003cbr\u003eOf course we all have the same amount of time in the day. But some people struggle to get even the simplest of tasks completed while others can work a weeks worth of jobs into one single day. Time can be our worst enemy or our closest friend.\u003cbr\u003eIf you are struggling to find the time to get everything in order, if you want to find a way to accomplish a few more dreams and release a few of those huge tasks that seem to be forever hanging over your head, then making time work for you is the key.\u003cbr\u003eTime for a little honesty first. The problem with time isn’t a problem with time at all. It’s all about just how organized you are. The hours, days, months, years we have are the same our next door neighbours have too. It’s about finding how to make time work for you.\u003cbr\u003eOver the years you will have developed strategies to help you cope with time. Often we get caught in patterns of behavior that can\u003cbr\u003emake things worse rather than better. Or you may have once had strategies that worked but life has changed around you and those old strategies just aren’t working.\u003cbr\u003eThe more responsibility you have, the bigger your dreams, the more you need a handle on time. If you’re unemployed, without children and don’t have a lot of responsibility, then your time issues are likely to be far less than a person in a managerial role, opening their own business and running a family home as well.\u003cbr\u003eTo work out just where your time is going, we first need to work out just how organized you are.\u003cbr\u003eHow Organized Are You?\u003cbr\u003eSometimes the way we see ourselves and time isn’t not completely accurate. For this reason it can be a good idea to also ask people around you to help you evaluate just how much time you spend on things. Everyone has an area they don’t notice (Often because it’s something they secretly don’t want to impact such as surfing the net, watching television or shopping).\u003cbr\u003eTo get the best result go through the following checklist yourself first, then ask someone you trust and respect to fill it out for you too.\u003cbr\u003eRead through the following statements and circle the response that fits your answer best:\u003cbr\u003eI work more than fifty hours a week\u003cbr\u003eNEVER SOMETIMES ALWAYS\u003cbr\u003eI feel guilty when I go on holiday or take time off work\u003cbr\u003eNEVER SOMETIMES ALWAYS\u003cbr\u003eI never have time to get everything done\u003cbr\u003eNEVER SOMETIMES ALWAYS\u003cbr\u003eI feel like I don’t have any down time\u003cbr\u003eNEVER SOMETIMES ALWAYS\u003cbr\u003eI don’t take lunch breaks- I eat lunch at my desk\u003cbr\u003eI NEVER SOMETIMES ALWAYS\u003cbr\u003eI complete tasks or assignments right on deadline\u003cbr\u003eNEVER SOMETIMES ALWAYS\u003cbr\u003eI avoid difficult tasks and put them off till last\u003cbr\u003eNEVER SOMETIMES ALWAYS\u003cbr\u003eI find it difficult to finish what I start\u003cbr\u003eNEVER SOMETIMES ALWAYS\u003cbr\u003eI am late for appointments or meetings\u003cbr\u003eNEVER SOMETIMES ALWAYS\u003cbr\u003eI blame other people when I don’t get everything done.\u003cbr\u003eNEVER SOMETIMES ALWAYS\u003cbr\u003eNow score your responses.\u003cbr\u003eNEVER = no point, SOMETIMES = one and ALWAYS = two\u003cbr\u003eThe following will give you an indication of whether you do have a problem with managing time to provide you with the best results:\u003cbr\u003eIf your score was over 13 points: You probably feel your life is rather chaotic. You feel like if you were in a boxing ring with time and time would have got you in a headlock and was about to punch your lights out. However just remember there is time for a surprise punch before you get completely knocked out- and this report will help you get there.\u003cbr\u003eIf your score was between 6 and 12: Well sometimes you get it. Which is great? And then there are the times when you don’t. Those times could do with a little help however and this book will help you get there. Just give us a little time to help you get there.\u003cbr\u003eIf your score was five or under that’s great! On the whole you are managing your time pretty well.
