Self Management To Time Management

Book Cover & Preview Text
Time what a precious commodity! Time management has less to do with managing your time then managing yourself more effectively. We live in a world controlled by time and numbers. There are clocks in our homes, schools, businesses, and cars. Most of us wear wristwatches. Virtually everything we do revolves around time and numbers.
"What time is it?" "When is dinner?" "When is it due?" "How old are you?" "How much do you weigh?" What grade are you in?" "How much does it cost?" "What is the flight number?" "What is the price of gas today?" Holidays, Taxes, and Events all revolve around times and numbers. The list is endless.
To state the obvious, there are seven days in a week, 168 hours in a week, usually thirty days in a month, 365 days in a year. It is the 24 hours in a day, that are key for us. We all have the same amount of time in a day. We just use it differently. Some are always in a hurry to get things done. Others are more relaxed and less concerned about time. Successfull people are goal oriented. Those who are truly productive are so because they set their priorities and schedule their time accordingly. All to common responses are, "I am too busy or I did not have time." Someone wisely noted that, "Excuses are all reasons stuffed in a lie."
Since many hours each day are consumed by sleep, eating, working or going to school, you only have to worry about what is left over. If you do not plan these extra hours wisely, they can be easily consumed with watching TV, talking on the phone, etc., or nothing at all.
We have to figure out what our time stealers are. Then learn to priroritise, organize and learn to say no when ever possible.

About the Author
Robin is often referred to as the Queen of Time Management. She believes that anyone can be a Queen or King of Time & Self Management.
Robin learned time management early on, but did not really master it until she began living on her own as a single parent. When you are single or a single parent you are responsible for everything! If the bills are not paid or other things don't get done, then you have no-one to blame but yourself. Too many people make excuses for why their homes are dirty, the laundry is not done; the car is not washed, etc. Obviously if it is not important to you then it will not get done. It has nothing to do with time management. It all depends on your priorities.
Robin believes that if she was able to make it on her own as a single parent working two full time jobs while keeping up with all the honey dues and have some occasional fun, then so can anyone.
We have to learn to discipline ourselves and say no to things and sometimes our friends. Just like the person who had to loose 100-200 pounds, they too will tell you that it took discipline, focus and learning to say no. It is amazing how much of life holds true to some of those same principles.
