In both our personal lives and our business world, there are a multitude of reasons to keep focused on our development in a continuum. You might want to earn the next big raise. You might want more skills in an area that currently makes you feel uncomfortable. You might want to add some new technology skill. Have you ever thought that this type of improvement will affect both your productivity and your time management skills? In his Great Little Book on Mastering Your Time, Brian Tracy states that, "Personal development is a major time-saver. The better you become, the less time it takes you to achieve your goals." How true, how true! Remember back to when you were fresh in the job you have now. Can you remember how long it took you to establish a productive routine! There were forms to create, contacts to establish, systems to discover and confidence to be gained! Once you have mastered all of the above, i.e., mastered your time, did you stop there? Many people do! It's a sad day when we begin to coast: we've arrived at some level of comfort; things are going smoothly enough; we know our job and we can see how we fit in with the other workers. Coasting begins! Is this what you want - to coast? Coasting can guarantee dying in your present job or relationship regardless of how great you think you are currently. We get stale! We stop going that extra mile and worst of all, we stop having fun! It becomes too easy to loose the edge that got us where we are in the first place, and once we've lost it, it becomes way too difficult to pull ourselves back into the game! At this point, time management goes down the drain? This week, look for ways to spice up your personal and professional development strategy. If you do not have a personal or professional development strategy, create one. If there is already a plan in action, look at it closely and see if there are ways to improve it. Be creative, bold and daring! Look beyond what classes you will take or which books you will read and peer into the unknown, whatever the unknown is for you! How will expanding your mind or enhance your thinking through a development strategy affect your time management skills? You're the only one who can answer this question. See what there is to discover this week and have fun discovering it! Enjoy your week!!
