How much time do you have?
May 3rd
How much time do you have each day?
Your answer may well be, “NOT ENOUGH!”
But if I’m guessing it right, you do not have more time than me and
you do not have less time than me.
In fact, you do not have less time than Li Ka Shing, Obama, or Andy
Lau. You do not have more time than them either.
The fact is that we all have 24 hours a day.
However, some of us obviously achieve a lot more with their 24
hours compared with others. And the trick is not time
management.Because time cannot be managed, you can only manage what
you want to do in it.
And so, instead of trying to manage time, try managing your life.
So, how do you accomplish more?
First of all, you must know what it is that you want in your life.
Look at it this way, if you do not know what you want to accomplish
in your life, why does it matter what you do everyday? If you don’t
know your purpose in life or your goals in life or what your ideal
life looks like, then it doesn’t matter what you do today or
tomorrow; it doesn’t matter whether you get your degree or not; it
doesn’t matter whether you get the job or not; it doesn’t matter
whether you earn little or much money…
After you have decided on what it is that you want in your life,
then look at what you are doing each day to see if your daily
activities help to move you closer to your goals.And I mean take a
long hard look at how you spend time and expend effort each day and
determine if they align with your goals.
If any of the daily activities do not bring you closer to your
goals or your ideal life, then it is time to stop doing it.
The fact is that in order to accomplish more, you have to do less.
Life doesn’t get better by doing more. It gets better only when you
are focused and are only doing those things that matter to you.
What is it that you will stop doing today?
