There’s 24 hours in a day. Seven days in a week. Twelve months in a year. This is true for all of us! The big question is: WHY can some people get
so many more things done within this same time constraint than others? The answer is really simple when we think
about it. It’s not how much time you have
available, it’s how you use the available time you have!
It seems that the old expression is
true: If you want to get something done
give the assignment to a busy person!
Some people have learned to manage their time in a better fashion than
others. If they have a task to
accomplish, they review what is required and get busy doing the job. Let’s say for one person this particular task
takes ONE hour to get done. For another
person they will take THREE hours to get the same task completed! Why?
If you were able to analyze their working
habits you would problem find out they spent ONE hour complaining about how
hard and particularly impossible the task was going to be to do. They then spent ONE hour “debating” how they
would have to make so many changes and adjustments to get the task
completed. Then after some resolve they
got to work and got the job done in ONE hour!
It’s also amazing how one individual will
examine a task and break-down the necessary steps to accomplish it and then
follow a systematic approach and complete each step, in order of its
needs. Another person simply cannot
picture in their mind what steps are necessary or how to view the over-all task
in its various components.
This means that some people will actually
get more things done than others although we all have the same amount of
time. Quite often when we are “too busy”
to get things done that should be accomplished, it is really because we don’t
want to do them any way! That’s part of
our nature, because we’re only human!
