The WIT to WIN
What are the most important things you should accomplish today? Go ahead. Make a list of your priorities and put them in order of their importance. Write down the rewards and the consequences for each one. Your list has incredible power. It helps you propel yourself towards your most desired results. Next, take your list of what's important today (your WIT), and immediately begin working on what's important now (your WIN). Your WIN represents each itemized priority from your list. When you get one WIN under your belt, immediately go after the next one; and then the next one after that. Your WIT to WIN gives you the vision, direction and momentum necessary to achieve. And, armed with a high-priority, reward-focused list, you'll actually enjoy the passionate pursuit of your daily desires and ambitions. Now, your priorities won't schedule themselves. They won't autonomously pop up on your daily agenda. Take the time to identify what's important today and your what's important now. Then, follow up with a strategic plan of action. Succeed in all that you set out to achieve. Make each priority a must and commit to whatever amount of time necessary to get your priorities done. Ultimately, your WIT to WIN will lead you to experience more success than you ever dreamed. Fran Briggs is an "motivational speaker of the inspirational kind."

Reading -- 10 Ways to Find The Time Why Read? Time Management Doesnt Exist! So What Can You Do? There is no such thing as time management. You cannot control time, throw it out, sell it, or give it away. You cannot stop time; it goes on forever and ever. So, what can you do? The Myth of What We Manage Perhaps it is merely semantics, but an underlying problem I find that people have as it relates to the success in their life lies in a proper understanding of what exactly it is that we manage. Think about it. We have time management (In fact I have a seminar on this very topic, some of which is excerpted below), and financial management, and relational management, weight management, career management, and many, many more.

Ending Procrastination: A New Look at the Old Demon Do you believe that the best way to deal with procrastination is to "get tough" with yourself and "just do it?" Many people take this approach. What's behind it is the sense that procrastination is essentially a character flaw, a weakness, and that the only way to deal with it is to muscle past it through sheer will. But the truth is, there's a more effective way to approach it that also happens to be much more self- respectful. 5 Days to A Simpler Life! Of all the Attraction Principles, the most popular class I teach is "Simplify Your Life - Yes, You CAN!"

It?s Not The Same Old Routine We are constantly inundated with routine (often boring!) tasks around the house. This can cause major frustration because many of us don't do them efficiently, and most of us fail to complete our entire list of chores! You may take comfort in comment from a commiserating colleague: "A creative mind always has more ideas than the physical body is able to carry out. The only people who finish their 'to do' list are dead." So, relax, there is only so much time in the day, and ask yourself, "What's the most important thing to do today?" Boost Your Productivity with Sixty Minutes A Day How you spend the first sixty minutes of your day will affect your productivity and achievements ? everyday. Time Management: Which Advice to Follow? There are so many books on Time Management published every month that it is difficult to find the time to read and digest them all. What happens to most people is that they buy a book on time management, read it, decide that some parts of it may suit them, but then fail to adequately integrate the system into their lives. This is partly due to inadequacies in the system itself, and partly due to the inherently difficult nature of learning a new system - the equivalent to learning a new habit. What the books don't tell you is that each different time management system is not necessarily suitable to all people or for all uses for which people need them. Finding the right combination of the basic methods is entirely individual depending on both the nature of the tasks that are required to be done and the nature of the individual who is implementing the strategy. Making the Most of Your Time "The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot." - Michael Altshuler Dont Forget To Take Time Out For You!

Schedule Time for Interruption One of the most challenging situations people face when planning their day is how to stick to their schedule when they are constantly being interrupted. Just when your activities are organized, someone else's emergency seems to get in the way. A client has a crisis, co-workers are in a jam, your boss is breathing down your neck, a friend calls, or any of the dozens of other interruptions you face on any given day. Vilfredo Paretos Principle: The 80-20 Rule: 80% of Results are Produced from 20% of Efforts Vilfredo Pareto's Principle, or The "Pareto Principle," is more commonly known as the 80-20 rule. It suggests that a ratio of approximately 20% to 80% can be found as an effective measure for most things in life. Whether revenues generated per customer or value for hours worked, it usually can be found that 80% of all of our results in business and in life come from only 20% of our efforts! What Would Save You Time? We all get overwhelmed from time to time, and sometimes it seems as if 24 hours a day is just not enough to get everything accomplished that we would like. Let's consider this a brainstorming session. Start creating a list of everyday tasks that, if you didn't have to do them, would allow you to have more time in your day. For example, most of us have to do laundry on a regular basis. That takes time. What about making dinner? Commuting? The list goes on. These types of tasks are usually necessary and unavoidable. It would be fantastic if we could hire a housekeeper, a personal chef or a chauffeur to handle these things for us. More often than not however, we end up doing ourselves the things that need to be taken care of each day. Decrease Your Sleep, Increase Your Energy! And Have More Time In Your Day!
