What do you actually want to use your time for? Just as you cannot learn to be a great athlete unless you know what sport, position, or skill you want to learn, you can’t learn to be a good time manager unless you know what you really want to manage time for.
If you want to be happy and satisfied with your use of time, learn first to choose your goals thoughtfully and precisely. Exactly what ends do you want to attain with the time you have?
Goal-Setting: The process of establishing meaningful, realistic, and achievable goals is the first step toward purposeful and rewarding time management. At the end of this section, you will know exactly what you hope for yourself, how you will measure your performance, and the amount of time you will devote to your projects.
Goal-setting software can offer the specific options to fit your individual goal-setting needs. For those who need a little extra push to get the ball rolling on achieving their goals, goal-setting software can offer the motivation and structure you need. There are many available options, from those that deal with life goals in general to those more focused on goals in a professional setting. Such software has features like calendars, daily reminders, inspirational quotes or affirmations, tips for breaking down goals into achievable components, goal coaches, and periodic progress reports. Those specifically tailored for business purposes can help to align the goals of employees, managers, and the organization as a whole.
There are many websites created specifically for the purpose of aiding you in achieving your goals. Register with the site of your choice; then follow their template for scheduling and planning your goals and how you will reach them. Most of these sites will monitor your progress and guide you towards gradual step-by-step achievement. For example, some will send email reminders at various checkpoints based on the information you provide them about your individual goals. Try searching “goal setting” with any online search engine.
Place goal reminders on your Personal Data Assistant (PDA), cell phone, or computer. The key is always keeping your goals in the forefront of your thoughts. Thanks to technology, you can make it virtually impossible to lose sight of both short and long-term goals. Most devices like cell phones, PDA’s, and websites can serve as the little voice inside your head that helps you stay on target. With your goals constantly in your thoughts, you will be more likely to translate them into action.
You’re never too old to take a class. Enroll in a free, online course that will teach and test you on time management and other skills related to goal-setting.
