Time Wasters Impede Progress to Your Ideal Life

Time-wasters do nothing but impede or delay the ideal
life you are committed to creating. The good news is they are simple to
eliminate. They simply become something you used to do when you were okay with staying where you were. The difference now is that you are ready to move on and create your ideal life – and letting them go is a snap.

Here are a few examples of time wasters.  Remember, it all adds up.

  1. Not doing similar activities together can waste time.
  2. Spending time trying to fix things you can’t and never will control.
  3. Doing things that can be delegated, or at least delayed.
  4. Getting caught up in reading all the personal jokes and entertaining things people send to your email.
  5. Playing telephone tag when you really should work, as much as possible, by appointment.
  6. Entering into superficial chit chat when you really don’t care and even sometimes when you might care.
  7. Going to meetings or attending membership group events that provide no real value to you or your firm.
  8. Getting ready to get ready.   Quit thinking about something you think is beneficial to do and just do it now.

  • how about endlessly playing mindless games on your computer or phone? You know, like solitaire, Minesweep, Angry Birds.., and that’s just a few of the more popular ones. It also doesn’t even get to many of the Wii, PlayStation Xbox, or online games that are so popular these days. I quit playing Farmville at the beginning of the year because I realized I was using up too much time.

    Thanks for sharing this great, eye-opening post!

  • One thing I have done, as you suggested is cutting out chit chat, I find people now view me as less friendly but I dont mind this. I have got to the stage where I cannot stand people who witter on and waste time its definitly more productive to cut them out.

  • I admit it.. I am a time waster.. I really love to learn how to be good at time managing.. Thanks for the post!

  • This is a very informative post… This is timely for me, learning to manage my time can really help me become more productive.

  • Hi Anne, thank you for sharing your good insight here, this will uplift me to manage my time.

  • I had people under me before who sent me reports of the work done for the day. It discouraged me how low their productivity was. Things improved when I found people who value time management. I also provide them a list to be done so they’ll know how much they have to cover for the day.

  • i just thought and i realized you are so right about what you have said here.
