There’s a saying about finding time. I often wish I could find the time to do this or find more time to finish that or some other finding time axiom. But really, where are you going to find time? Is it hidden away or did someone else use some of your allotted time?

 

We all have the same 24 hours in a day. Yet why does it seem that some people get more done than others in that same amount of time? To be successful at anything we must learn to manage our time efficiently.

 

Did you know the average person checks their phone about 150 times every day? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we spend on average 5 hours a day on leisure activities including social media.

 

We waste time on our phones, on social media, and on the internet. Talking and trying to find lost documents at work wastes time. Time management has been a problem for millions of people for years.

 

Here are some of the top time wasters:

• No priorities or goals keeps you doing random tasks
• Procrastination causes you to be rushed to finish projects
• Perfectionism keeps you from making progress and moving forward
• Saying “Yes” when you are already overwhelmed and allowing others to take up your time
• Distractions take away from your concentration taking time
• Getting up late keeps you from taking advantage of starting earlier
• Social media and being online is a big one. Spending time on Facebook, Twitter, watching YouTube videos

 

Another time waster is taking on too much at one time. It leads to a time crunch often because we think we have plenty of time, so we end up doing other projects first (or, if we’re honest with ourselves, spending time on social networking sites). Then before we realize it, you suddenly realize the deadline or launch date is here and you don’t have enough time to get it done.

 

In this Module, I’m going to help you learn how to get control over your time. You’ll discover how to determine how much time you really have, where you’re wasting time and how you can optimize your time to get more done using different techniques and apps.
