It often seems that there is never enough time in the world. When you are very young you seem to sit around waiting for new and exciting things to happen. But as you grow older, you have less time to waste. You have to balance between work and family, taking care of your loved ones, paying bills and not to mention driving through heavy traffic.
This is life. Time flies when you are having fun and it crawls when you are not.
Have you ever considered doing other things when time seems to crawl more slowly? Sort of like, reading a book when you are waiting at the bus stop or at the train station? You don’t want to sit around and stare at the moving scenery all day.
When learning to streamline all your tasks together, you are actually accomplishing more even if you believe you are not good at multitasking.
How about when you are driving to work during rush hour? Would it be wise to brood along with the rest of the crowd or find ways to maximize your time? Why don’t you pop in a motivational tape or CD into your car and listen to the words of wisdom by Anthony Robbins or Robert Kiyosaki? It sure is better than sitting around waiting for traffic.
There are many women and men out there who have mastered the art of cooking. They seem to produce the most delicious recipes and cook lots of food at the same time. Probably because they know how to streamline their cooking like putting something into the oven while waiting for something else to boil and they are busy chopping vegetables at the same time!
The lesson of the story is; Don’t waste your time when you have the opportunity to make something good out of it.
On the other hand, trying to accomplish too much in a short time is good only if you can handle the stress. Remember the old adage ¨C an eagle who chases after two rabbits catches none. So don’t bite off more than you can chew. It might be counter-productive.
Take for example, when you are working long hours in your job or business daily, if you are working overtime, realize that working 12 hours a day might be even less productive compared to working 8 hours a day. Your productivity might suffer in the long run if you don’t watch your health.
And all the money that you have spent on working will go back into your medical bills or health insurance. Manage your time wisely and you won’t suffer from stress.
Saving time or creating more time takes practice. Remember to make a conscious effort and you will do fine.
