Poor Time Management? You Might Need A Day Planner!

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0400

From my experiences I have found that poor time management can really impact heavily on various areas of your life. The thing is, poor time management is not something that just springs up on you: if you are always late with deadlines, meeting friends or loved ones, or just generally struggling to find enough hours in the day, then the chances are that you have a problem with how you manage your time. There are many things that you can do to manage your time more effectively many of which do not even require significant expense or changes to your lifestyle. One of the most simple and effective ways of overcoming poor time management is through the use of a day planner. Day planners can take many forms and vary in terms of complexity. At their most basic level, day planners serve as timetables which enable you to pencil in tasks which you intend to do at various times in the day. I have found that a small diary-like pocket book has worked best for me as I can carry it with me at all times. **End Summary** Topics: Poor time management]]> day planner]]> manage time effectively]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Have you heard of The Action Machine?

Easy Time Management With The Action Machine!

While I have read many informative and insightful books on the subject of time management, none have actually given me a practical means through which I can plan and manage my time better and overcome procrastination. That was until I discovered The Action Machine, a time management system that does just that. What is The Action Machine? The Action Machine is an effective time management system that enables you to manage and track all of the important things that you have to achieve in a given period of time. You input the key tasks that you need to complete for the day and it enables you to break them down into a series of actions, allocate a set time towards achieving each task and records your completion of actions in order for you to gauge your level of productivity. Why Does The Action Machine Work? The concept behind it is pretty simple and I think that is exactly why it is such a powerful time manager. For many people a lack of organisation, poor time management and a lack of focus on priorities leads to that overwhelming feeling, from which procrastination becomes inevitable. **End Summary** Topics: The Action Machine]]> time management system]]> self-improvement]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Louis Williamson is a full time business manager and part time internet entrepreneur.

Overcoming Procrastination: Can Self-Improvement Books Really Help?

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

"This is a life-changing book"... "This book changed everything for me".... How many times have you flicked through the internet or looked on the front cover of a so-called 'Best Seller' and read these types of testimonials from satisfied customers? Whether you are surfing the net or looking in your local book store it is not difficult to find a book or article focussed on self-improvement; either geared towards developing a specific area of your life or all-round spiritual or professional growth. From my experiences I would say that there is definitely some usefulness in investing in a self-improvement book, and I have now read a few books which have really helped me to understand and begin to overcome procrastination. However, I would air on the side of caution when it comes to handing over your hard earned cash as I do not believe that a few books are not going to revolutionise your entire life. Please don't get me wrong, I am not saying that those satisfied customers who write testimonials like the ones above are lying to you: they probably did find true enlightenment in what they read. **End Summary** Topics: self-improvement books]]> overcoming procrastination]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Louis Williamson is a 30 year old Business Manager who has a keen interest in self-help and motivational tools, which have helped him to further his career.

Procrastination: How Can You Stop It?

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0400

There are could be any number of reasons for why you canâ€˜t stop procrastinating: you might be doing something that you really donâ€™t like doing. You might not know enough about the job or task that you need to do. You might be scared to fail at the task. You might lack confidence. Whatever the reason is, it tends to do you no good whatsoever. As a former serial procrastinator I made a few conscious changes to improve my productivity and stop procrastinating in the most important areas of my life. 1. Understand the issue This might sound a little strange, but think about it: how can you stop procrastinating if you donâ€™t know why you are doing it? This tends to be the key to addressing many problems or issues which people experience - for me, it was only when I started sitting down and asking myself why I didnâ€™t want to do something that I could produce a plan for attacking the task at hand. 2. Develop a PHASED plan of attack When I was faced with a difficult task I used to look at it in one go and completely overwhelm myself. **End Summary** Topics: Procrastination]]> Procrastinating]]> self-help]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Louis Williamson is a 30 year business manager and internet entrepreneur.
