Time Management

Time is your most valuable resource. If you are like most people, time controls you rather than you controlling time. How many people do you know of that manage their life down to the minute? I bet none. Did you ever stop to think why people always run out of time at the end of the day? Rarely do they get everything done on any given day. These days time must be managed to get as many things done as possible in a 24-hour period.

People waste time like there’s an abundance of it they take it for granted. Most of my clients come to me with horrific time management practices. They procrastinate until the last minute, aimlessly surfing the Internet for hours, watch too much TV, pick out the clothes they want to wear first thing in the morning, etc. It’s only a few minutes here and there – right? When are they going to grasp the fact that they’re on this planet one time and time is scarce why not make the most of it? If time is mastered, then life is as well. If life is mastered, then death is an easy, inevitable, acceptance.

Going From Undisciplined to Self-Mastery

Going from Undisciplined to Self-Mastery is the roadmap you’ll need to take you from being an unproductive human being to becoming the master of your own fate. It will guide you through the time-proven Five steps needed to help transform your life into what you really want it to be. These steps will help you develop the self-discipline you’ll need in order to live the rest of your life with true purpose. The five steps are based on hundreds of life coaching and organization performance mentoring case studies by me. Once you master all five of these steps, you will be able to combat the top issues affecting many people in the world today—I refer to them as The Dirty Dozen:

1. Severe procrastination
2. Failed goals
3. No motivation
4. No sense of urgency
5. Disorganized
6. Lack of structure
7. Not focused
8. Not managing sleep optimally
9. Poor performance
10. Poor time management
11. Lack of energy
12. Inconsistency
