Time Management

I have been busily writing for Real Estate Agents over the last few weeks; this is a snippet of something I wrote….

I thought this blog post was relevant to everyone. No matter what our jobs are, whether we stay at home to raise children, or what are days are filled doing, time management is difficult to master.
I know that time is important. Remember we have the same time in the day as everyone else. It’s how we use it that determines what we achieve.
Here are a few tips to get you (and myself!) sorted and back on track.
1. Make a teensy, weensy start. Just try doing a little bit of that mountain of paperwork, cleaning, gardening or whatever it is.
2. Write a list. Categorise it – now, tomorrow, next week. Keep adjusting it and keep renewing it.
3. Rid perfectionism. It’s not possible to be perfect. Tell yourself its better that you are doing something rather than nothing at all.
4. Give yourself an earlier deadline – this is mind over matter. Think it. Believe it. It will work!
5. Clear up the clutter – clean your desk, clean your kitchen bench.. you will feel better when everything is clean and tidy. THEN you can start on that list.
What is suffocating you? What’s holding you back?
Do you still want to WIN this?

    Great tips Katrina – I love your list – sounds very me 🙂 I am a huge list maker and find it so satisfying crossing things off. I've had to work on the getting rid of perfectionism – I used to always tell myself things like 'I'll sit down and enjoy that magazine once the house is all nice and tidy' – I've since discovered nothing is ever as perfect as I'd like and that's ok 🙂
