I’m not good at everything, but I must admit, I’m the queen of time management. My time does not rule me, I control it, I am on top of it, and I’d love to share my ideas with you.

How many things do you juggle? How many hats do you wear in your life? In this podcast, we list the areas of your life that take up your time. For example, family, work, logistics, home duties, personal issues, etc. Most busy individuals have about 45 main categories. Keep in mind that each area can have subcategories. Now that you’ve done that, how many have you listed? If you have more than five areas, consolidate and group them into no more than five. You need to say no to some areas at this particular time in your life.

Now, what do we do with this list? Do you have an electronic or paper planning system that is working for you? Would your coach agree that it is working? Sometimes we need someone else’s opinion to know whether something is working or not. Yes or no to the following: I don’t have a planning system. I think my planning system is functional. I know my planning system is not functional. How did you rate?

Now rate the following statements from 1 to 5 with, 1 being the least efficient and 5 being the best. I plan my days thoroughly and effectively. I prioritize tasks into a B&C. I keep my file systems organized. I keep my desk free of clutter. I evaluate and illuminate the time wasted. I say no to B&C time wasters. I dropped problem accounts that drained me. I effectively delegate follow up. I set task and effectively. I prioritize tasks into a B&C. I keep my file systems organized. I set uninterrupted time to plan each day, I know my value per hour.
