Adding Time

How much time is added unnecessarily to your life? Just imagine for a second how many situations in your business that time get's added that didn't need to be added. Think about it. Here are a few examples to exercise your thoughts:

- you get an email and instead of handling it right then and there, you put it away for "later"

- you tell someone in business that you will review and handle this "next week" when you could handle it right now. - you don't gather all the people that need to be associated with a decision immediately to put it to bed right now, only to procrastinate and put it off for another day

- you defer decisions to someone else when you can actually handle it and be done with it.

These are just a few examples but just imagine if you made a list of every single time you added time to a situation that didn't require it and then you stopped doing it! A lot of time would be freed up for you. A ton of time actually. So it isn't really that you never have enough time... Is it? No. It's that you gobble up all the available time you have with the fluff of "adding time" to various situations for no apparent reason. Stop doing it and buy yourself extra time to get more done. You will be amazed at how much you are actually capable of. Let your competition or other folks add time but don't join them in this idiotic activity.
