How to Master Time: Success Secrets

Video Transcript

Hello, I'm Kerul Kassel on behalf of Expert Village. We're going to talk about speeding success through time and resource mastery in this segment. What kind of fat is in your schedule? We've talked about calendars before but we haven't talked so much about time management so let's look at the kind of obstacles that may be in the way of your achieving your goals aside from procrastination. What kind of time mastery obstacles and, when we talk about time and resource mastery we're talking about, we're talking about effort, we're talking about the direction you're going in, we're talking about what kind of investment you're making financially, all of these things are resources that can help you achieve your goals. So what are some achievement obstacles in terms of time management? Well, television is a big one. I think the average is, most American adults spend between four and five hours watching TV a day, that's a lot of time. Reduce it, maybe make it half an hour to an hour maximum, you'll have so much more time for doing more meaningful things and for achieving your goals. Email's another one, email can be a huge time waster, it's one of those things that stretches out to fit the amount of time available. So how do you reduce that? Create a time line in your calendar for perhaps spending a half an hour twice a day on emails. Try to limit it to only once or twice a day so you're not constantly looking at it and it's not impeding your progress with other accomplishments. Online gaming, another one, we can waste a lot of time. Use gaming as a reward so that if you accomplish some task you can use the gaming as a reward for accomplishing that task instead of doing it before or instead of the task use it afterwards as a reward. Phone calls, a lot of phone calls that last for a long time with friends, with family, make them shorter, briefer, get to the point more consicely. Doesn't mean you need to be unsociable but it means you can cut some of the fat through limiting phone calls and reducing the time you spend on them. Volunteer stuff, I'm not suggesting you give up your volunteer stuff, I'm simply suggesting that you take a look at your volunteer activities you're involved in and reevaluate whether they fit your life well and whether they're in line with what you want to accomplish. It may be that you reorganize what you're doing so that you're spending less time doing volunteer things or favors for other people. Tolerations is a huge one the kinds of things in our life that we're putting up with that really may need to change. Sometimes we're hanging on to them because we're scared of change, we're afraid of the risk, but those tolerations, more than anything else, can stop us from achieving your goals. So, if there are tolerations, make a list, start working through them, partner with somebody else to help get rid of those tolerations slowly but surely.
