20 WAYS TO CREATE MORE TIME

"Go on walking in wisdom . . ., buying  out the opportune time for yourselves." -Colossians 4:5. 

HAVING  identified the activities with which you want to fill your days and hours,the challenge is to move from optimistic theory to actual practice.  The following suggestions may help you do that. 

1. Keep A DAILY TO-DO LIST. Number items according to the order in which you will handled them. Indicate items that are worth spending more time on. Check off each item when it is completed. Carry over unfinished tasks to tomorrow's list.

2. SYNCHRONIZE YOUR CALENDARS. Don't risk missing an appointment because it is only in your other calendar in your computer and another in a handheld device, see if you can synchronize the two.

3. WRITE AN "ACTION PLAN"  consisting of all the steps involved in a project, and put these in their proper sequence.  

4. GENERALLY, SCHEDULE YOUR MOST IMPORTANT TASKS FIRST. It will be easier to find time for the less important ones.

5.  SET GOALS OVER WHICH YOU HAVE A LARGE DEGREE OF CONTROL. You have more control over increasing your skill at a certain job than over becoming president of your company.
