We live in a world that is measured by 24 hours, 7 days a week, and we count 365 days a year. As the cycle of time resets after the 365 days hence New Years, another year begins. So why are some people successful and a lot of other people not successful? You ever see the guy who goes in to work for a few days a week, is invited to every party around you, and seems to make a crap load of money? Well after many years of study I found one of the key components of success is how you manage your time and what you do with it. If your going to spend time doing something, make sure that it gives a return on investment as time is a commodity that once when passed, you cannot get it back. It's simply gone.
Managing your time requires you to be nimble, and focused on what really matters. One thing I also noticed about very successful people is that they balance their time by dividing it so that they at least touch on all parts of their life within a week. For example even though a person might be a business man, he or she will spend an hour at Church for spirituality, 7 hours of exercise time per week (1 hour a day), a few hours for family and dinner time each day, and 4-6 hours a day on their career each day. I also noticed that the most successful people are the ones who socialize, create connections and valuable relationships, and they make damn sure that wherever they spend their time they remain present and laser focused. I always hated when I am around someone and they are not looking into yours eyes and they remain in a dreamlike state thinking of being somewhere else just nodding their head like a bobble head toy. So the key things are this:
Do you think your spending your time wisely?
Can you take other actions that can yield you better results?
Are you balancing your time with the most important things in your life?
Spending your time, are you happy or stressed out? Do you have energy after your week or do you feel burnt out?
Do you look forward to the next day or are you dreading it?
Hopefully these thoughts and questions help you out and that you are able to re-calibrate the way you manage your time to do amazing things. Managing your time is one of the keys to living a fulfilling life.
