Although we are all unique,
we all have one thing in common...we
all have the same amount of time at our disposal...
60
seconds in a minute,
60
minutes in an hour,
24
hours in a day,
and
168 hours in a week.
Time cannot be saved
or stored.
It is not how much we have, but rather the
way we use it that makes the
difference.

FOR
THOUGHT
So many things to do - so little time. You may be
struggling to keep up with all of
the demands that are placed on you - requests for your time. Any
many of the requests are ones that you would really like to
fulfill...but at some point you will find yourself needing to make
choices - set priorities.
When you set priorities, you have to make some decisions about
what's really important - and that means
important to you. That's likely to be subjective and
that's OK in this case. The other thing that you need to consider is
urgency.
Take each of those items on your "to-do" list and for each ask
yourself the following:
 |
In the big scheme
of things, how important is this? How does it
align with my personal and
professional goals? What would
happen if I did not do this - would there be
consequences? |
 |
What's the timeline?
When does this need to be completed by? |
Now grab some
paper and start prioritizing - you may find
yourself with more time to spend on the things that you feel are
really worthwhile!
