Time Management meetings and Television
Creating good time management habits at the office can be a
tough, especially when you must work around other people's
projects and meeting plans. But just because somebody wants to
schedule a face-to-face meeting doesn't mean that the meeting
must be held. Once you talk with that person on the phone, you
may discover that you can gather all of the necessary
information without ever having to take time from your day for a
meeting with him.
Another example of unnecessary time-wasting at the office is
attending meetings where it wasn't necessary for you to be
there. You would be surprised as to how many meetings are held
with people who did not need to be there. How much time is
wasted for those people? How much of their time management
planning goes down the drain due to these meetings?
But how do you communicate your desire to bypass a meeting or to
have a meeting canceled altogether, without offending the person
who is trying to schedule it? Simply try to ask the person on
the phone questions about as much information that the meeting
is to be about. Then politely say "Well it looks like I have
everything that I need, how about I get to work on this project
right away and we can meet about the results tomorrow"? However
you approach the situation, be conscious of who you are dealing
with and what position at the office they hold.

Did you know that the average person wastes up to 70% of their
free time by watching television? Are you one of those people?
Chances are that if your goal is to make better use of your time
for more important items in your life, then you may need to kick
the television habit to the curb!
Below are 6 ways in which you can make better time management by
controlling your TV habits:
1. Ignore the TV and choose to work on hobbies such as
gardening, puzzles, reading, stamp collecting, etc. 2. Only
permit yourself to watch two hours of programming on Saturday
and Sunday for an entire month. You will be amazed at how much
more focused you will be. 3. Instead of watching sports games on
TV, why not attend them instead? Not only does this get you away
from the television but it also can create more quality time
between you and your friends and family. 4. Understand that you
do not need to watch TV for your news and information. You have
been programmed to do so since birth and with today's online
news reports you do not need to get drawn back into watching
television just to see what is happening out there. 5. Make it a
point to go an entire week at a time without ever turning on
your television. So this at least once per month, or more if
possible. http://www.eselfhypnosis.com
