This week we are discussing what it means to have time management and the benefits that come with having time management!
I reference the 4 boxes of productivity from the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: urgent and important, not urgent and important, not important and urgent, not urgent and not important. Throughout this episode I discuss the importance of each box and being able to manage your time in all of them.
I list an array of benefits that you get within your life because of time management. These benefits not only benefit you in the short term but in the long-term as well. I vulnerably mention the lack of time management skills that I had when I first opened my business and somehow I also ended up in that urgent and important category because I would procrastinate and do other things.
Together, we discuss some tactical ways that we can increase our time management so we can reap all of the benefits that come with having great time management.
PLAN PLAN PLAN! If you are not planning, you are planning to fail. Not that failing is a bad thing, we fail our way to success but you wont get to success without having a plan. I love planning out my week before it even starts. It allows me to walk into the week with clarity! Really ask yourself, how are you managing your time and how can you be better? We can all be better so focus on one area and make that a priority.
Who typically pushes their hardest things to do to the bottom of the list? I’ve fallen victim and it's okay to admit you have to. But today we discuss how that hard thing that you’re not doing is actually prolonging the pain and keeping you from growing into who you are meant to be.
Bible verse highlighted: James 1:5-6 “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask Him, be sure that your faith is in God alone.” This is telling us that if we need wisdom in a certain situation or just life in general, ask God and it will be given to you but you must have the faith and believe that God will grant you the wisdom.
