Being Fully Productive with the Time You've Got

By: Ann Golden Egle

In both our personal lives and our business world, there are a multitude of reasons to keep focused on our development in a continuum. You might want to earn the next big raise. You might want more skills in an area that currently makes you feel uncomfortable. You might want to add some new technology skill. Have you ever thought that this type of improvement will affect both your productivity and your time management skills?

In his Great Little Book on Mastering Your Time, Brian Tracy states that, "Personal development is a major time-saver. The better you become, the less time it takes you to achieve your goals."

How true, how true! Remember back to when you were fresh in the job you have now. Can you remember how long it took you to establish a productive routine! There were forms to create, contacts to establish, systems to discover and confidence to be gained!

Once you have mastered all of the above, i.e., mastered your time, did you stop there? Many people do! Sadly, when we reach a comfort zone where things are going smoothly and we know both the ins and outs of our profession and also where we fit in with respect to all of the players, we begin to coast!

Is this what you want - to coast? Coasting can guarantee dying in your present job or relationship regardless of how great you think you are currently. We get stale! We stop going that extra mile and worst of all, we stop having fun!

If we don't stay on top of this concept, we will lose the fresh edge that got us to the top initially, and once it's gone, it's really tough to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps to regain it! At this point, time management goes down the drain?

This week, look for ways to spice up your personal and professional development strategy. If you do not have a personal or professional development strategy, create one. If there is already a plan in action, look at it closely and see if there are ways to improve it. Be creative, bold and daring! Look beyond what classes you will take or which books you will read and peer into the unknown, whatever the unknown is for you! Can you see how you will improve your time management skills set if you expand your mind or use some development strategy to upgrade your thinking? Only you know the answer to this question. See what there is to discover this week and have fun discovering it! Enjoy your week!!
