Personal Growth

Manage Your Time More Effectively

How often do you take on more than you can possibly handle? Unfortunately,

this seems to be the "norm" in our world today. Attempting to do more

tasks than you have the time or ability to handle can lead to missed

deadlines, less-polished or sloppy work, and missed opportunities.



Missed deadlines – When you take on more than you can handle, you

will miss deadlines on a regular basis. Missed deadlines and

less-polished or sloppy work can adversely affect your service image

with your clients and prospects. They will lose faith in your

ability to deliver the level of service and communication they

require.



Missed opportunities – When you live your life always on overload, it

doesn't allow you to take advantage of opportunities that arise in

life and business. You might be given the opportunity to meet and/or

network with someone important in your business – but if your

schedule has no "give" to it, you could miss out! When scheduling

your day, allow some extra time for each appointment. If you don't

need the extra time with that client/prospect, it becomes bonus time

you can use to brainstorm possible new ideas!



We are all given only so much time each day – be sure you are investing

yours wisely!
