Don't we all!

Here's 12 tips on how to make better use of your time:

  1. There are only 24 hours in a day. We can only manage ourselves, not time!
  2. Maximize Your Office Space: Organize your desk, remove any and all items of distraction.
  3. Create a prority plan and prioritize: make priority list for the day, start with the major things and work your way down. If you've ever used a Franklin Planner, top items would be A's and so on.
  4. Do the right thing! If you follow your priority list that's doing the right thing and being effective and not just efficient.
  5. Get rid of things/people that steal your precious time! Eliminate those obstacles quickly!
  6. Use and Master your CRM. It seems like a lot of work at first, but it will eventually make your work easier and you'll end up more effective in what you're doing.
  7. Learn to say "NO". It's a tough one for me. Being mindful of your goals will help make the "no's" a little easier.
  8. Use a to-do list. Yank all those sticky notes and scrap paper of things to remember and put them all in one place ... your to-do list.
  9. Use email for communication. Ignore junk mail, but use email to keep in touch.
  10. Observe & Emulate: watch those that are very productive in the office and do what they do.
  11. REWARD YOURSELF!!!!! When you do good, do something just for you whether its alone time with a quiet cup of tea and a book or a weekend get-away! You have to do it once in a while.
  12. JUST DO IT ... change your behavior today!

I hope this helps ... I'm sure some of you have tips to add????

Maybe, be careful about how much blogging time we spend. As many of us know, it can get addicting!

It's amazing how quickly a half hour can be killed by idle chit chat with callers or even co-workers. I'm having a hard time getting all my prospecting time in for a variety of reasons. I may have to follow step 2 and hide in a conference room to hammer out those calls.

Lisa,  I'm in Ann Arbor and if you want to attend camp 443 or the next KW event please e mail me (or comment on one of my blogs ;-) and I would love to meet you and NO pressure to join KW.  I will inform you of the next event.  Maybe I should do a blog (you know get some points along the way...)

 One of my brothers best friends was a Bender in Cincinnati. Do you have family there?

Lisa -- No NO NO -- just practicing.  Good tips!

Lately, I been using a method  -- setting one goal a day to accomplish each day --Andre Aggasi uses it too he spoke about it in an interview.

On the to-do list, it helps to prioritize the list with ones, twos, and threes, as to how important the tasks are.

Another comment.  It takes 21 days to form a new habit.  Maybe this is one that people can make that is good.
