Who doesn’t need more time? It seems that there is always more to do than the time we have. We all have 24 hours per day and to be truly successful we need to eliminate unneeded tasks, chores, duties, etc.
People will make demands on your time and if you are not disciplined you will find that you are letting other people control your time! There is no excuse for not putting a priority on your time.
Everyone has a phone at home or a cell phone. Have you ever been busing doing something and the phone rings- you answer it and an hour later you are still trying to cut off your friend. When the phone rings it does not mean you need to answer it, it just means someone is calling!
If you are doing something important-don’t answer. Believe me if it’s important, they will call back.
If you must know who’s calling-get an answering machine or caller ID and you can decide if you at least want to answer.
This also applies to answering emails. I have several email accounts and believe me they can get clogged up real quick. Check it twice per day. Most of it can wait.
Choose a set time every day to return calls and email messages. You’re the boss right!
