http://dotheknowledge.com/transcend PEACE: here's a great new video that'll cover a series of steps to become more effective, action-oriented, "time-managed" and more. Enjoy it and leave a comment below to let me know what you think...really hope it helps.
Also, interestingly, this video is just a video VERSION of a well-received blog post I did a few months back, so here's the original link to that: http://bit.ly/e9AM5c
And here's the text you can enjoy for a transcription:
-----------------------------------------------------
Time-management is seriously important. With the skill-set (and mind-set) to be more productive with you're time and energy, you'll:
- put yourself in a favorable financial and career position by developing your talents, knowledge and skills,
- develop the relationships and contacts you need achieve your personal goals
- become somebody of more impact and influence in the world and community around you, because
"In all our deeds, the proper value and respect for time determines success or failure..." ~ Malcolm X (emphasis mine)
Now, WITHOUT the skills to manage your time and energy well, you'll:
- lose status and respect from the people that are important to you,
- NEVER accomplish the important goals in life that you set out to accomplish, and
- sabotage your future financial security and wellbeing
But the thing is, as vital as these skills are, THEY'RE EASY TO FORGET, because, if you're like me, ALMOST NOBODY AROUND YOU EXHIBITS THEM...
To the contrary though, almost everyone I know completely wastes every free moment they have (and complains about the situation they're in). It turns me off...
I'm not saying this to knock anybody, cause we're all in this together, but I just want to make the point clear: if you don't constantly nourish you're mind with this stuff, you'll gradually slip back into the unhealthy and destructive habits of the people around you.
The consequences and responsibilities we're all dealing with now are the result of CHOICES we made in the past. So ultimately, time-management is a preventive measure against the forfeiting of your future that almost nobody takes seriously.
If you pay insurance for your health or for any of the important items that you own, you might as well pay insurance mentally for the life you're creating everyday when you get out the bed.
So let's get started...
1 | "Time-Management" is Played Out...
Time management is played out, and what I mean by that is that traditional "time management" comes out of a world that no longer exists...
The term dates way back to the industrial revolution: the first time in which "output" for the average person exceeded the boundaries of nature...whereas work used to be determined by seasons and sunlight hours, holidays by inclement weather and time itself by looking at the Sun and Moon, this was the first time where people were using clocks, working in factories and leaving their rural hometowns for major cities.
Now most of the time-management literature and ideas come later of course, but they still developed during a time when there was NO internet, NO cell phones or any of the other technological advances that determine how we work and interact now.
So a more effective approach would be what I call "present-day productivity": the techniques, habits, mindset shifts and tools for personal effectiveness (leveraging your time, information, communication, emotional wellbeing and action-orientation in the digital age).
Present-Day Productivity is like finding bugs and glitches in a computer program that you need to avoid, and then using cheat codes in a video game that you need to create (where the computer program is the society and the video game is your own human nature).
When you really get proficient at this, it's almost like you're whole life becomes a Game-Genie or something.
ACTION STEP: Eliminate the word "time-management" from your vocabulary completely. Instead, use terms like "personal effectiveness" "efficiency" and "productivity."
Stop trying to manage "time" and focus more on managing YOURSELF: see the traditional to-do list managers, calendar systems and planners as a small part of your overall game...as a small part of the routines, systems and environments you consciously set up to support you getting the most out of yourself.
2 | You Achieve More By Taking Regular Breaks...
...then by ever working obsessively, so stop trying to run marathons with your workload.
