What Lifestyle Entrepreneurs Never Do - About Time Management

Most people, myself included, first in my career to make a great mistake to keep an action list without setting priorities. Usually contains entries from top to bottom to call people, filing documents, sending faxes, setting appointments. And at the end of the day, most actions have been and people feel good about it. Nothing wrong track activities and progress, but if this is done outside the scope of their personal goals will not be able to succeed in time. What? The list of priorities for action without adequate or classes can make a temporary absence "where the objects outside, but it will help them achieve their goals effectively. The" mixed bag "of activities very quickly leads to a pattern of behavior that focuses on both the easy task or tasks that are urgent but not necessarily important. businesspeople lifestyle are sensitive to their time. They know they are constantly working on their goals is the most important task to do, even if it means postponing a visit to a friend. That will never allow the urgent tasks to take control of your day. Instead, they handle the number of urgent tasks emerging from a proper pre-planning. Read on for a very practical approach to return to the track. Four activity levels explains the structure of its activity in 4 different categories, I call them zones. A - The Planning Zone All that is very important, but not so urgent. These are things that if you do not contribute to longer term to achieve its objectives. For example, working regularly on their long-term strategy to generate future income. Meditation and visualization of goals are also those that belong here. Successful people spend most of their time here, some, including more than 80%. B - Production Zone is all very important and very urgent. Typically these are activities that are being made to generate income from your business. Example: return to a perspective that has responded positively to your website or advertisement. Make sure that part of their daily activities that occur in this area as this is usually the place where money is generated. If it is fully established and trained up, spend at least a 40 -- 60% of their time here. C - Waste Zone Anything that is not important and not urgent. All material on entertainment and social chats. Let's be honest: watching the news on the Internet is not helping your business in any way unless they are somehow connected to it. A party is good, but the impact on business results is fairly minimal. Curiously, this is where most people do not get the results they spend most of their time. .. Its action lists are full of activities in this area. So be careful and spend time here only if you really can afford. Suggest than 10% of their time. D - Loss Zone Everything is not important but very urgent. Crisis of things that cause stress and discomfort. His lawyer asked why he has ignored the tax for a while ". Nothing to do with your business, but the right of extreme urgency, to date, you have to sacrifice time for this. Not many know this, but you can greatly reduce waste here if you spend the correct time in the A - the planning area. Ideally, you should spend 0% of their time here. Managing silly? From now on, the time of the cash it! I used to be the worst person in the world, taking care of the costs of claims, administration, taxes, etc.. I always thought that kind of distract me from my main objective. Pity. We must all do the boring stuff. This works very well for me right now: Locks a limited period, say 1 hour a day during which only execute the boring stuff you have to do anyway. After that, treat yourself, relax with your favorite drink and feel accomplished, because he deserves it. In this way, you avoid the "negative vibes" to the tedious tasks and are willing to go ahead with the most exciting things again.
