MANAGE YOUR TIME!!!!

 Chances are good that, at some time in your life, you've taken a time management class, read about it in books, and tried to use an electronic or paper-based day planner to organize, prioritize and schedule your day.
Practice the following techniques to become the master of your own time:

THE TIPS OF THE MANAGEMENT TIMES TO BECOME THE MASTER OF YOUR OWN TIME:

--Carry a schedule and record all your thoughts, conversations and activities for a week.

--Any activity or conversation that's important to your success should have a time assigned to it.

-- Plan to spend at least 50 percent of your time engaged in the thoughts, activities and conversations that produce most of your results.

-- Schedule time for interruptions.

-- Take the first 30 minutes of every day to plan your day.

-- Take five minutes before every call and task to decide what result you want to attain.

-- Put up a _Do not disturb_ sign when you absolutely have to get work done.

-- Practice not answering the phone just because it's ringing and e-mails just because they show up. Disconnect instant messaging. Don't instantly give people your attention unless it's absolutely crucial in your business to offer an immediate human response.

-- Remember that it's impossible to get everything done. Also remember that odds are good that 20 percent of your thoughts, conversations and activities produce 80 percent of your results.
