Posted by admin in Succes and happiness on December 13, 2009
Parkinson’s Law describes the human tendency of work expanding to fill the time available for its completion. It’s the opposite of and contrary to the art of expanding time. The secret to expanding your time is to organize and control your time which you can do through the discipline of setting priorities.
Don’t start a day until you have it finished! Use the simple 3 step process for managing your time that we discussed:
- 1 Prepare a list of tasks to be completed.
- 2 Prioritize the list in order of importance.
- 3 Take action on the tasks one at a time.
Use a time-log to identify unproductive activities. Keep the log very accurately for at least two weeks and longer if you wish. This is one of the simplest and most powerful techniques for taking control of your time.
Recognize procrastination as a thief of time. Planning in advance and commitment to priorities will help defeat procrastination, but it’s equally important to identify the fear of failure from which procrastination derives. Be aware that you must eagerly accept the risk of failure in order to enjoy the possibility of ultimate success!
Expand time by enlisting others in your cause. Delegate when possible, otherwise lead by the strength of your purpose and by your enthusiasm, and don’t be reluctant to give others credit! Learn when to say “no”, it’s one of the most effective tools for managing time you will ever find. You have all the time you need if you manage it wisely!

Posted by admin in Succes and happiness on December 13, 2009
We must remember that everyone has problems in life. The difference between success and failure is not how many problems we have, or how difficult they are, it’s what we do about them! Troubles tend to come in cycles like the seasons. We must learn to deal with them as we do the hardships of winter, knowing that productive seasons lie ahead. So the secret to overcoming any problem or challenge is to simply take responsibility and deal with it. No one can succeed by ignoring problems. That’s why a problem deferred is often a problem enlarged!
Fear prevents people from dealing with problems and getting what they want out of life. Fear is real and will immobilize you if you let it. Overcome fear by analysis and action. Convert the negative emotions into the positive energy of action! Every problem holds the potential reward of gifts of opportunity to learn and move ahead, to grow and to build you character. Problems are life’s way of testing us for the next level of achievement and dealing with problems is bodybuilding for our character.
Commitment and persistence are the twin forces that will allow you to overcome any problem or challenge. Commitment means using all of your abilities to the fullest. Persistence means never giving up on the important goals in your life.
Don’t complain! Use problems to help you grow and expand!
