It's no secret that successful people know how to properly organize their time, and consider this skill one of the fundamental for achieving their goals.
Now it is fashionable to go to business trainings and study. But even the ancients said: “Real knowledge is not what is only in the head and on the tongue, but what is put into action. It is not enough to know the principles of success, in order to achieve it, you need to live in accordance with these laws. Here are some simple but important secrets on how to organize your time.
1. Planning activities - the basis of the basics known to everyone, but performed by not everyone. Think about the proven fact: the time spent on planning the next day's tasks saves up to 100% of the effort spent on the implementation of these tasks. This means that by spending 10-15 minutes in the evening or in the morning to think over and write down your plans for the day, you will get a gain in time per day of 100-150 minutes, which is more than two hours! The famous business woman, founder of the cosmetic empire Mary Kay, every morning made a plan of 5 main things to do. As she completed it, she crossed out the cases in the notebook and at the end of the day put a line - "Done"! Such a simple method will allow you not only to properly organize your working hours, but also increase your self-esteem, because every evening you will be happy to draw the line and write - "Completed!"
2. Learning to prioritize. This is the next stage of planning. As you write down and think about things for tomorrow, arrange them in order of importance to you and your business. Often we spend a lot of time on little things, forgetting about the main thing, or all the time we put off until later what will help to achieve the result. Priorities will allow you to define your main goals in life and highlight actions to achieve them.
3. Learn to say "No" to unnecessary people and useless things. Count how much time you spend on chatting on the phone, chatting in ICQ, senseless wandering through the news on the Internet, talking about anything. Some people, when counting, are horrified that it takes more than half of the day. Disable ICQ, plan the time spent on the Internet. When doing things critical, turn off your phone until you get used to the new Thrifty Mode of the day.
4. Take time to relax. Work is good, but if it takes up all your energy and doesn't let you relax, that kind of success will not bring you happiness. Be sure to find in your schedule a place to socialize with family, children, favorite animals, outdoor activities and annual vacations.
5. Don't sleep half your life! Even the ancient Vedic scriptures said that the correct daily routine is the key to success and health. Let's be closer to nature, organize our time according to sunrise and sunset, and the Sun will give us additional strength and energy. This means that you need to go to bed before 10 pm and get up before 6 am. Nature: birds, animals, trees and flowers live by the sundial. It turns out that the brain rests from 10 pm to midnight, so it is very important to sleep at this time. And after 6 in the morning a person is captured by the energy of "passion", which does not give a person peace and real happiness. Until 6 am - hours of "goodness", which bring peace and tranquility throughout the day. After 9 am - hours of "ignorance", a person who likes to sleep for a long time will never be able to correctly prioritize his life.
6. Read and Learn Every Day! Nowadays there are many books in which successful people share their secrets on how to organize their time. Read and take these tips into your life so that knowledge works for your success in work and business.
