Developing my time management skills not only makes me more efficient, giving me more time for the things I want to do, but it also brings new opportunities for success.
Each day, I am sure to include some time to complete tasks that move me closer to my goals.
On my daily schedule, I leave some wiggle room. This gives me the time to break away from the normal daily tasks to handle distractions without putting me behind schedule. I find that I am well prepared for distractions and can easily get right back on track.
My wiggle room also gives me the time to pursue new opportunities when I see them. I can keep myself open to recognizing and taking action on new opportunities as they come up, rather than be a slave to the tasks on my list.
Good time management also lets me include time for myself, which brings all sorts of possibilities. I can develop new interests, skills, and hobbies, and each one creates its own brave new world of fresh opportunities!
Managing my time well gives me the time to keep myself healthy, both mentally and physically. It allows for variety and excitement and it keeps me alert to new possibilities.
Today, I plan to arrange my schedule according to my priorities and include plenty of wiggle room so I can get things done, while still having time to pursue new interests.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Am I a slave to my to-do list? How can I use good time management to help?
2. Do I prioritize tasks in my schedule so I always complete the important ones?
3. How can I include more wiggle room in my schedule?
