Good Afternoon,
This is always the time of year when I do my best to improve and learn a few new things --- just like all the children that either just went back to school or are about to start classes.
I grabbed a book titled --Organize Yourself
And randomly opened up to the following:
BEWARE OF TIME WASTERS
For each of the following time wasters, there is an obvious solution. In the the list below, how often do you recognize yourself?
*Not having a plan; lacking direction
*Failing to set priorities; trapped by indecision
*Inability to say no
*Attempting to take on more tasks than you can
possibly handle
*Failure to delegate; trying to do everything yourself
*Scheduling activities so that you have too much or
too little time for something
*Putting off something which should be done today
*Focusing on how busy you are; avoiding priorities
*Suffering from personal disorganization; unable to
find things because of CLUTTER.*Jumpng from one activity, project, item to the next
instead of getting one thing done
*Leaving tasks unfinished and having to re-think what
you were doing in order to finish up
*Getting bogged down by detail instead of keeping
your goals in mind
*Starting a project without having enough information
*Lacking skills to accomplish what you intend (e.g.,
having to hunt-and-peck at the typewriter because
you don't know how)
*Being kept waiting
*Being interrupted by the telephone
*Socializing during times you set aside for projects
*Being interrupted by visitors who drop in
*Not getting to the point in a conversation; not saying
what you mean
*Attending meetings without an agenda
*Not using your commuting or travel time wisely
*Watching television when you had planned to do
something else

Good Luck!
Peace,
