Time can be your best friend, or NOT.
Several years ago I wrote this blog post (https://activerain.com/blogsview/4620028/think-of-all-the-things-i-can-get-done-now-) about time being spent on things that weren't helping my business move forward. There were numerous time wasters that I would catch myself doing from time to time, and even sometimes knowing I had other things to do, would still waste a few minutes here and there going back to the time wasters. I suppose just knowing there is an issue with wasting time is the first step. "Hello, my name is Scott and I'm a time waster." I should have added, part-time time waster, because it's not all the time, just once in a while, but it still bugs me that I catch myself doing it at all.
I chose this post because I am a firm believer that just knowing there is an activity that is a time waster isn't enough. You have to talk about it and take daily action to reduce the time waster activities.
I think everyone knows that you can't be a robot and work 24/7 without burning out, but going too far in the wasting time direction is never a good thing.
I hope this post rings a bell with someone else so they can begin to prioritize their day and become even more succesful. Becoming more effective at daily business and family building activities are the number one goal of nearly every person including a realtor, inspector, title company officer, mortgage company official, the list is endless. Everyone wants to get more done, every single day. I know I do, and work at it with a positive growth goal for my business and my employees.
So how do you start on a path of getting more done with the limited hours we have in a day? One really good way to get a head start on this journey is to get a copy of a really good book by Gary Keller, the big dog at Keller Williams. It's titled The One Thing.
I have had my children read this book and learn the message and lessons inside. They have all found benefits and I'm sure you would too. I would highly recommend it to your children as well.
