Making Your Time Work for You 

It is almost impossible for many of us to control our time. One of the most significant problems is how much of our time we are willing to give those who want someone to do it for them. We need to be very proactive with how we use our time wisely.  

To succeed, set clear long and short-term goals of what you need to do with your time to get the outcome you want. Set tasks from those goals that are small enough to work on each day. Set priorities for those goals and give yourself enough self-care time to keep you at your best. 

Setting boundaries for your time to eliminate distractions is a wise move. So is setting up your work environment and timeline to get the best output for your work. You do not need to say yes to those things that do not mesh with your values and goals. 

You should always be able to adjust your schedule and be flexible when the unexpected arises. You can make the most of your daily grind if you drive towards your goals and maintain your plans. 

Starting Next Friday, everyone’s invited to take advantage of our free course, ‘Making Your Time Work for You.’  

More to come next week.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
