New Years Resolutions Time Management

New Years Resolutions Time Management

Just look at all your New Years Resolutions. Lot's to do right?

So when ya gonna do it all huh huh huh? Painful to really think about isn't it? Well here's a few important tips I gave my clients...

To do more of one th

ing, you will have to do less of other things.

You don't have any 'free' time in your life, because you're already using up every single one of your 24 hours per day (that's 168 hours per week).

Take for example a popular resolution for the new year of going to the gym 3 times per week.

Say you'll spend 1.5 hours actually inside the gym, including shower. And just say it only takes 15 minutes to get to the gym, and 15 to get back home.

That's 2 hours total (realistically it will be more like 3 but let's just say 2). And let's say you want to go three times a week and have chosen Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday as your days.

Now, what time do you get home from work? Let's just say you get home 6pm. What time do you go to bed? Let's just say you get to bed by midnight. Between 6pm and midnight is 6 hours.

What do you usually do on those 3 days in that evening time? What things will you give up so that

you have the 2 hours (or 3) needed to go to the gym, on 3 of your days per week?

Now you can probably see that's manageable, but it certainly does need some thinking about the time management of your new years resolution.

However, you've probably got some other new years resolutions that need time management too right?

So you'll have to do a similar process of looking at your schedule, looking at what you do already, estimate how much time each resolution will take on a one-off, or finite, or ongoing basis, and then re-shuffle your schedule and drop some more things you used to do in 2006 for your new resolution activities in 2007.

New Years Resolutions often make a big time commitment that many people simply don't appreciate or focus on. And that's a big reasons why many of them fail. I want you to win in 2007.

So sit down again with your resolutions list and plan out the time management needed for each one as best you can, get started with your new schedule, and make sensible adjustments as you go.

Time management is vitally important for winning with your 2007 New Years Resolutions.
