Time management - the buzzword of the 90's. We all have the same 24 hours. Spening time vs. spending QUALITY time. If only we were more organized, we'd have more time. Its time to STOP!
We already spend our time doing what we want - whatever is easiest, whatever keeps us out of trouble - whatever gives us the highest reward with the lowest output of energy. Of course, one person's 'lowest output' maybe practicing for a marathon while another's is getting a faster time on flipping through the channels on the remote.
We've spent time trying to get ourselves in Time Management shape - writing down our goals, building to-do lists, even dedicating blocks of time to certain activities.
But what about PURPOSE? Why do we do all these things? Why must we accomplish the list? To feel good? To provide security to our family? To ensure we live longer? To have fun? When we understand our purpose, or create a purpose that means something, time management becomes easier. We know everything we're doing is leading towards not just a greater goal, but fulfilling WHO we want to be.
Sometimes that means cutting out some items on that list, or reassessing how important certain goals are. By defining our purpose, we will be able to better determine not just how to manage our time, but to enjoy it as well.
What is your Purpose?
