Are You a Prisoner of Time?

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

“If you are a servant of time, rather than letting time serve you, you are a prisoner of time.”  Alan Cohen

My friend, Alan, has hit the nail on the head with this statement.  In today’s world of email, voice mail, snail mail, texting, imaging, PDA’s, Twitter and more you have to wonder, “Do I have anything to do with how I spend my time?”

The answer is a resounding YES!

Do this simple thing, write down the three things you must have as priorities for today.  KEEP IT SIMPLE.

Make these things that will:

  •  increase the quality of what you do, (like just listening more closely)
  • provide better customer service, (like getting back to someone who is waiting for you)
  • or grow the organization. (learning as an example)

 The rest can wait. 

Now make two or three priorities for yourself.  (Eat better, spend time with the kids, take a walk, get the tires rotated, take a nap.)  These don’t have to be big, they just have to be important to your life.

Set yourself free with a few simple priorities.
