Time Flies

Have you noticed; Although we all have the same amount of time in our day, some people accomplish so much more than others?

It’s about choices. 

 

It drives me crazy to hear someone use the excuse “I didn’t have time”.  Of course you had time!  We all have the same amount of time.  You simply chose to do something else with your time.  This can become an unhealthy habit.  

I encourage you to work on this mindset – be more honest with yourself and quit making excuses.  You know, it is okay to make choices with your time others might disagree with.

Ask questions when someone gives you an assignment so you clearly understand what is expected of you.  “I am currently working on Project A; do you want me to stop and handle this new assignment first?”  “What time frame do I have to complete this new assignment?”  “How detailed do you want the first draft to be?”  A simple question or two can set expectations and clarify priorities for all parties.
