how to time manage – Page 2

Use the Universe.

Always seek out Books on Motivation to help you with stress. There will be times when you will feel overwhelmed, and you may wonder how you are possibly going to accomplish everything that you want to accomplish in your life, or even in your day. When you feel this way, you need to know that you are not alone in achieving your dreams. The Universe is waiting to help you, but it needs you to provide guidance. You need to be true to yourself about your dreams, and about the results you want to see in your life. Keep a journal and consistently write things down. This is one way to connect with the Universe about your desires and feelings. Writing things down solidifies them in your own mind, and gets you working on things at a subconscious level. It’s like taking action in your sleep! You will be amazed at what the Universe will do for you when you are willing to put yourself out there. Opportunities will start showing up from every angle, and you will find yourself spending time assessing these opportunities instead of worrying about how you are going to get it all done.

And when opportunities are presented to you, be sure to say thank you to the Universe in whatever way feels good to you. Giving thanks, and appreciating the small things that happen, will ensure that more is sent your way. So chase all your dreams, even if they seem scary and unachievable. You don’t have to do it alone. Namaste.

Sit Back, Relax, and…

Take Action! Yes, you can relax and you can enjoy your life. But you also need to be taking action in your life. Maximize your time and results by taking the right actions. Make sure you know where you want to go, and then just start taking little steps everyday towards getting you there. If you make time and focus on your dreams and your passions consistently, you will achieve your dreams.

Focusing on your dreams must include:

visualization of, and meditation on your dreams
writing down your dreams and passions, without restriction
writing down steps to take to achieve your goals
creating time in your day to consistently work on your dreams

Find 20 minutes today, and everyday, to give your dreams some time. You’re worth it. Namaste.

A thought on Christmas.

Christmas is the time of year that everyone starts feeling overwhelmed and stressed out! Cookies to bake, cards to send, houses to decorate, shopping, parties, kids concerts….Whew! I am exhausted just thinking about it! My advice today is to stop! Christmas is being marketed to you as a consumer, and you do not have to buy into it! If you can do all of the things you feel you have to for Christmas, without feeling stressed, perfect. But if you are already anxious about it, let it go. Christmas will come and go whether you get everything you feel pressured to get done or not. And why not rethink Christmas? For me, the best part about Christmas is that my husband gets a week off because his work closes. And our kids are also off school. So, we get a whole week to spend together as a family. Our focus is on sharing this time with our family, eating, drinking and being merry! Let the stress of Christmas go, and just enjoy it. No one is judging you on your efforts this Christmas, so put some focus back on your family and friends. Namaste.

Don’t do too much.

Feeling stressed and overworked? Not able to take a sick day? Assess what you are doing with your time. You may have to let something go. You do not have to do it all, you just have to do what you need to get the results you want. And if what you are doing causes more stress for you than the benefits, let it go. Namaste.

Partnerships.

A perfect partnership is one where two people are willing to put in the same amount of effort towards achieving a defined goal. Plan together and then work hard towards achieving that goal and you will succeed… together. Namaste.

Be Inspired.

Find people, books, and other things that inspire you. Search out people who are doing what you would like to be doing, and allow them to “light a fire” in you. You don’t have to do it alone. The road to success can be traveled faster, and more enjoyably, with the right people in your life. Open yourself up to some inspiration today. Namaste.

Success Secrets. Part 1.

Know what you want. Those of you who have done my Planet Do-it Chapter/Seminar will have a good idea of what you really want. If you do not know what you want, for now just think of something that you’ve always wanted to do but have restricted yourself in some way. (I don’t have enough schooling, money, time, courage to do that). The more ridiculous your goal appears to be to you, the better. Write that thing down.

Next Step.

Be on the lookout for opportunities. The Universe will always give you what you need, and what you have asked for, but it may not be packaged up the way you thought. So be aware of everything going on around you. Ask lots of questions, and listen carefully.

Namaste.

Make to do lists. And do them.

“If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”
Bruce Lee

Make time in your life by being more efficient. Make your “to do” lists the night before so that your brain can subconsciously work on getting it all done while you are sleeping. You will sleep better knowing what to expect from your day, and you will wake up feeling ready to take on the world! Your “to do” list should be detailed and include everything that will need to be done for the one day. Schedule your time everyday, and be sure to include work, personal, school and family stuff all on one calendar that you can keep with you at all times. Use a daily calendar that has time slots on it so that you can see just how much time you have to get things done. There is only so much time in the day, so make good use of every minute. Be sure to schedule in some time just for you… you deserve it.

Plan to do things, and then do them. This is the secret to success. Namaste.

Get Christmas Started.

It is almost that time of year again. Be prepared for Christmas this year, and start something small today. Make a list of all of the people that you will want to buy gifts for. If you can think of any ideas for gifts, write them beside that person’s name. Don’t worry about gift ideas if you don’t have them right now, just the names are important. This task should only take 5 minutes, but it will do a lot to get you in the right frame of mind. Writing things down really has an amazing impact, and suddenly the right gifts for the right people will start showing up for you as if by magic. Be ready to be prepared this year! Namaste.

Read.

Read books on things you are passionate about. Read more books on being successful. Read other successful people’s biographies. Read books written by your heroes. Reading is a common trait of highly successful people, so do as they do.
