Reading a John C. Maxwell article in the September 2017 edition of Success about time management, entitled “4 Tips to Set Yourself Up for a Better Tomorrow Today” got me thinking. On a hunch, I went back and reviewed several other articles, publications and the ActionCOACH TimeRICH seminar on the subject of time management and was able to confirm my conclusion that
Time Management is really Self Management!
This is not exactly a new idea, I’ve said this during numerous presentations. So why highlight it now in this blog? It seems to me that many of us brush off the importance of time-self management. Taking an “I am what I am” attitude rather than seeking to improve our use of our time. Thus, I am going to reiterate a few of our top self-time management tips:
John C. Maxwell included the following quote in the article:
“Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Improve them, and they will become the brightest gems.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Remember, you cannot replenish your time, once a moment is gone, it is gone. As Steadman Graham said at one of our ActionCOACH conferences,
“Time is the great equalizer. We all have 24 hours in a day.”
His message continued to say that the very wealthy use their time more effectively. How are you investing your precious time? My colleagues and I at ActionCOACH are uniquely qualified to assist you toward effective delegation and successful self and time management.
