Learn Time Management to Achieve Your Goals

Learn Time Management to Achieve Your Goals

In order to accomplish all of your goals in 2015, you may need to put in more effort than you usually do. Putting in more effort may require that you learn time management to achieve your goals. Radio personality and actor Steve Harvey mentioned the following in an interview once:

“You can decide to be two types of people. You can be ordinary, or you can be extraordinary. The only difference between those two words is extra. If you do extra, you can be extraordinary. If you don't want an extraordinary life, just stop doing extra.”

This is especially true if you are working in a current job while planning to make a career change. When changing your career, you have to expend extra effort because you are maintaining your current responsibilities while building a new life.

• Watercooler talk time becomes break time on your phone doing research for your career change, making calls or researching information online.
• Former lunch time with colleagues becomes coaching sessions over the phone with your coach and running errands to find out information and check out resources that will support your goals.

You see, effective time management is the first step toward being extraordinary. You have the same 168 hours per week, but the proficiency in which you use your time will change. You can use time management scheduling to include investing time in your goals. You can use your time to:

• look for organizations and online communities where you can learn more about different industries
• seek ways you can volunteer in these communities for a short time to get a feel for the environment – test the waters
• connect with others that share your interests to learn and find support

Learning time management will take some time to get right but the discomfort and possible frustration will not last. It is a temporary by-product of building something new. Construction is dusty and noisy in the beginning, but the result is a beautifully designed, functional, building that serves a purpose. If you haven't been able to accomplish the goals you set at the beginning of this year, with 2015 around the corner, this is the best time to make a fresh start to learn time management. Don't let anything or anyone stop you from your goals. Remember, your potential for success is unlimited. When you push yourself just a little past your comfort zone, you will be amazed at what you can achieve.

"Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning." -- Denis Waitleyhttp://www.liveyourpotential.blogspot.co.uk/2014/12/learn-time-management-to-achieve-your.html
