How Do You Spend It? Time management is always a great subject. Some of us pay attention, and some of us don't

Dollar Sign

I have been to many seminars. I can honestly say that I got a good piece of information, program, idea, out of every seminar concerning Real Estate that I have ever been to. Most of those seminars, educational events, or motivational events cost me money to attend.

I always figured that It was better to spend a little money to make myself a better person, communicator, and provider of service!

How Do You Spend It? Here in Mountain Home, Arkansas over the weekend I had the opportunity to listen to my Pastor, Randy Ludwig deliver the message at The Crossroads Service at the local Methodist church.

Randy's message was actually on procrastination....We won't go there in this post, except to say...Life is like a coin...You can spend it any way You want...But...You can only spend it once! How Do You Spend It?

John - I love your life to coin analogy. Our lives are built by our days, and we can choose how to build those days. Good luck to you in 2011!

Pat, No doubt it is up to US! Thank You for commenting.

Michael, Very good way to look at it. Too many of us let others spend our time...Thank You for commenting

I wish I could take credit for the coin analogy...I will give the credit to Randy Ludwig, But I am sure he will be happy to hear that it is being shared!

Hi John - Right now I am spending my time "fixing" one of my computers. Why is it that such a time-saving device can also be such a time-stealing device? Still waiting for it to finish up its latest check--good thing I have a few computers so I can at least check out ActiveRain!

Chris, I know how you feel...I almost flunked Data Processing and Quantitative Analysis when I was in College...Swore I would never own a computer....Ha Have a Great Week!

How much time, resources, money to invest here, where to pull back for the same results means reflection, time pulling back to consider where it all goes. Re allocate to worthwhile, and pull back from the time wasters, money hole in the pocket drains. That is what means we can not have a robot do our job and have to think on our feet, be flexible and adjust to the ER like conditions dealing with happy and well, not so happy people to serve others. Get out alive.

Andrew, Thank You for commenting....So many things to consider in our business...It is what keeps us moving and doing!

John,

I like to believe that I spend my coin life in a way that I will not regret.. but I know that at times, I waste it.. Time is precious, we all only get 24 hours in a day and we don't know how many days we'll have.

Great post.

Judi, Very true. Time is Precious, as well as a gift. Have a Great Day!

John, as a Realtor, I have come to the realization that there are times when the best time management plans are thrown out because of unexpected situations. The only thing we can do in those cases is to be flexible and make the best to rearrange our schedules to make every minute count!

Silvia, How True! Flexibility can be a real key! Have a Great Day!
