Getting Your Time Prioritized


"Where did all of my time go?"

Ah, time is precious, we must make it count!
Try making a list of the SIX MOST IMPORTANT THINGS you need to do each day. 
Make it a priority to get these six most important things done. Anything else is a bonus!

Consider what it is you want to accomplish (within reason, of course) each day. 
Beware of time stealers such as social drama, preventable emergencies (such as auto maintenance), internet surfing, and lack of preparation. Also be cognizant of what might be urgent vs. most important to accomplish for the day. Important things bring us closer to goals, whereas urgent things take us away from the task at hand! Once again, consider where you want or need to be or do by the end of the day and stay focused on your time and goals.
Take little projects or reading material along to maximize waiting time. Keep yourself accountable for time in your day...and you will begin to feel a sense of control and productivity over your time! It really helps to start each day by appreciating your time and any time during the past 24 hours that have been a blessing. Cherish these times☺


There is also a time for WORK.
When we work, we trade our time for dollars, yet another thing to consider when prioritizing
our list of six things to do each day. Even if/when unemployed and seeking work, we can choose to spend time doing volunteer work which translates into work or learning experience on a resume. Spend adequate time effectively marketing yourself when on a job search, these days one must consider a job search as a full time job! Don't be afraid to ask for help or attend networking groups.

But what do you do when you have "MORE MONTH THAN MONEY?"

We will take a look at FINANCES in the next part of this series, stay tuned...
