The Most Valuable Use of Your Time

“Perhaps the very best question that you can memorize

and, repeat over and over is, what the most

valuable use of my time right now?”

Brian Tracy, Self-Help Author, Motivational Speaker  

 

As I see it. . . . . . . .

The most valuable use of your time

 

The question ask yourself . . . . is what’s the most valuable use of your time? . . . . Right now?

 

What CAN you do right now . . . . that will move you closer to achieving your goals and objectives? What WILL you do today that will move you in that direction?

 

There is a big difference between can and will. The can is only a could in your life . . . . The will is in the doing.

 

Focus on investing your time . . . . and efforts on the will. By engaging in the productive activities that will move you closer to achieving your goals . . . . And by avoiding the time wasters . . . . busy work . . . . and the distracters that take you off course . . . .and further away from your goals.

 

Determine what the most important activities are today . . . . and take positive steps in doing them successfully. 

 

When you invest your time in the most important activities . . . . you increase your effectiveness . . . . and accelerate your success journey forward.

 

The question is what’s the most valuable use of your time? . . . . The answer to the question . . . . will become the pathway to achieve your goals and objectives.

Lou, i agree with your post and we all need to do this on a continuous basis. Stop doing stuff which will add no real value.

Sometimes we don't make the best use of our time, even when we know what the best use of our time would be, haha.

Lou,

 I totally agree yesterday I wasted my time with ups that had already bought because their sales consultant told them not to say anything that was time allocated to my blog which if they had been real prospects would have been fine!

Yes, what is the most valuable use of my time right at this very moment, second, minute, hour, day, month, year?!?  .......   It is like bringing everything down to a common denominator. Sounds like a key to me ... one of those 'keys to success.'

Productivity and work is important, but we need to remember that at some moments, it's NOT the most valuable use of our time. Sometimes the most valuable use is spending time with a family member or friend... or simply spending time in quiet contemplation.
