Time management!

Many people want to be taught to manage their time in a much better way. But the fact is, you cannot manage time anyway; it just keeps ticking away no matter what you do. As the great saying goes "TIME WAITS FOR NO MAN".

1. Perfection is NOT a human condition
Accept that no human being is meant to do everything. We all have our uniqueness; things we do better than others and vice versa.There is a need to develop the concept of "fair enough". You can rework your Letter draft 10 times. Is it really so much better than a much earlier draft? You can shop for the perfect dress endlessly, Wasn't the first one you tried and liked as good as the one you seeing now? Demand higher standards of excellence only where it really counts.As the quote goes "No man is perfect" You can only be fair or "good enough".
 
2) YOU are very special
Concentrate on excelling in what you enjoy doing better, and new areas you would like to learn. Share, partner with people who complement you or can fill the needs you have in areas you don't enjoy or do not know that well. Appreciate your talents and excellence and try to make it a habit. They are you, yours and very special.The results will not only save time but enrich and free you.
 
3) Energy and Time
Know and honor your energy levels. Are you a morning person, do you have a boring / slump afternoon?Your time will be best used if you pace the tasks you have to do based on this knowledge. Do the most challenging tasks at your peak energy time. 

4) Focus on a particular Task
Do not allow yourself to think of what you have to do next while you are doing. Put a "do not disturb" sign on your door and do not take phone calls.
Develop habits that help you focus on what you are doing in that moment. By putting everything else out of your mind while focusing on the task at hand, you will be using your time efficiently. If you get stuck on something, take a break. Move to something else, get the information you need to go ahead, stretch the topic,change the environment if necessary or whatever it takes, but don't sit idle and get stuck.

Positive Attitude: Just Another Way Of Thinking?

 Practical ways and suggestions to make things better, faster, more positive, by being optimistic,changing your outlook on life and motivate self and others to make the most of life, opportunity,embrace chance, change, process and outcome. Pro-actively, hands-on and first-hand opt to do something, everything a little differently from now on. Imagine and think the impossible, what you really want, claim it into reality, believe that it will be so and it will most likely be and happen that way. That is the so-called law of attraction. It very
much reminds us of a biblical quote and reference, ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and u shall find… sound familiar, knock and the door shall be opened unto you.
Then ask and answer this question and musing for yourself. How do you see and think about yourself, a success, a failure, disappointment, achiever? How do others see you? Is there a discrepancy between these two perspectives and why? How can you change matters, starting now? Change your thought, patterns, habits and self-talk that is mainly negative, into more positive thoughts, no matter how hard that might be for your inner skeptic and critic to do! See yourself as succeeding and having anything and everything you hope and dream of and then will it into being.

Calmness of mind

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.
A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought-evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought. As he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect, he ceases to worry and grieve, and remains poised.
The calm man, having learned how to govern himself, knows how to adapt himself to others. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success,his influence, his power for good.People always prefer to deal with a man whose demeanor is strongly equable. The strong calm man is always loved.  

How insignificant mere money-seeking looks in comparison with a serene life - a life that dwells in the ocean of Truth, beneath the waves in the Eternal Calm!
How few people we meet in life who are well-balanced,
who have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished character!”
Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion and ungoverned grief,
is blown about by anxiety and doubt. Only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are
controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.
Whatsoever conditions you may live, Know this - in the ocean of life the isles of Blessedness are smiling, and sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming.

Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power.
Say into your heart, “Peace, be still!”
