Time Management – Don’t follow my example

by MattKoshko on April 17, 2009

First off, Sorry. I’ve been swamped with so many projects, commitment and personal needs that I’ve neglected you, my readers. That leads me to the topic of discussion.

For many years we, humans, have wanted to accomplish things – personal achievements, new goals, business growth, etc.. What leads us to those accomplishments? Is it desire? Is it commitment? Or is it even time? The honest answer is all three plus more! We don’t accomplish things without many (if not all) of those elements even though they may be second nature.

I was thinking the other day to myself, “What drives me to get things done?” and “Why do I do so many things at once?”. The answer is simple, I enjoy it. But there are problems with the way I’ve tried doing it all. My time management is on and off depending on what I’m doing. If I’m on the computer working on a website, I can guarantee you I have MANY windows/tabs open for different websites such as Twitter, Facebook, ListJumper….which may have little or nothing to do with what I’m working on.

Time management is absolutely important. My example is one you shouldn’t follow. Look at the last time I posted a blog….and I could have easily been posting consistently, but didn’t manage my time well.

If you struggle to manage your time, it’s very normal. Instead of watching 1.5 hours of TV, spend only 1 hour watching TV and the other .5 hour writing a blog or catching up on email. During that .5 hour, don’t multi-task – just do one thing! You’ll appreciate what you’re able to get done in that time.

Thanks for coming by and you can certainly look forward to more posts, now.
