Time is a Thief



Time is a Thief.

Each of us has the same amount of time but for some people it is difficult to manage time and stay focused on each activity long enough to bring it to completion. For some people it is the Art of Procrastination that steals their time.

How often do you meet people who are consistently saying “I haven’t got time” and then they are told “Make Time” instead of “Manage your time.”

If you are an entrepreneur,Work from Home Business owner, author, professional blogger it is more difficult to avoid distractions when working in a home environment. In an office there was always the regulated hours of work, the daily routine etc.


Some of the distractions that we have on the Internet are e.mail, pop-ups, social sites to visit, new friends to meet, special offers, the latest get rich quick scheme.These are the big distractions unless we learn how to control them. So we think multi-tasking is the best way; this is something women have always been good at but is it the answer?

Tim Ferris in his book "The four hour week" says that multi-tasking can lower your I.Q more than smoking pot.Then there are personal distractions from family demanding your time. Friends want you to socialise and have fun because you are at home and you do have time. We get sucked into the OCD loop system.


It is so easy when you first begin to work on the Internet to spend 80% of your time learning and training and 20% monetising or doing revenue producing activities for your business. In order for your business to develop and grow quickly this has to change until you reverse the 80-20% rule to your advantage.


HOW DO I DO THIS?


You have to begin to develop systems and strategies that fit into your natural system and incorporate them over a period of 30-90 days until they become an habitual part of your routine.


Eben Pagan with his latest training www.WakupProductive.com has developed an in depth course in time-management studies and how to become focused to get things done and achieve the desired end results.


There are 4 major areas that we all need to address to become more efficient in our daily lives: physical, emotional, spiritual and mental and Eben addresses these issues in his course.


Physical


By improving your fitness routine on a daily basis you begin to stabilize your energy and this in turn increases focus. It can also be a huge influence on your energy and metabolism throughout the day.


Diet


If you start by eating junk food you often repeat this during that day. Diet is such an important element that can impact on your focus and well being. This is too big an issue for me to discuss in this article.If you are permanently lethargic then diet may be an issue that requires some urgent attention.


Body Clocks


People have different body clocks. I find some people are really morning people. They arise as bright as a button. They get out there and do the exercise routine and are ready with clarity to be creative by about 7 or 8 am in the morning .Others prefer to unwind at the end to the day and even enjoy going to the gym to aid the relaxation.Once family has retired to other activities they can really become creative into the early hours of the morning.What about the hours between 2 and 4pm? This is often a non productive time for many people. I know in Spain and especially on the Costas where we have the hot months it would be unthinkable to forbid the siesta. In August it becomes almost impossible to think, so there is no point in fighting it. After traditionally the largest meal of the day people sleep or relax in their own ways. At around 4.30 the place wakens and energises with a new buzz. I have found that the Spanish people have a very balanced way of working and living their lives with ‘tranquilidad” and balance as they say.We have to make our routines and strategies fit our natural style, rituals and routines.


We have chosen to work from home and via the Internet to Escape the Rat Race. However, if you are not in control of yourself with a routine and a system the Internet can quickly sabotage everything you are attempting to achieve and steal your day. You are living another person’s agenda

It is so imperative to find your optimum time for productivity and focus on that for about 2 hours, then walk away from the work and the computer. When you return you will feel so much more refreshed and energised.

Ref: “Body for Life- Transformation” by Bill Phillips. A path from physical to spiritual well being. One cannot separate the body from the emotional, mental, physical and spiritual aspects. Neither is this a destination you will reach in 30 days it is a journey of discovery.


So what is your biggest challenge?

How are you going to manage your Self Control and Personal Productivity to Build huge downline and have hungry prospects chasing you in the shortest possible time span.



If you cannot resolve these issues then all the gains you have made by working from home will be lost and you will not achieve your goals or dreams. Get the balance right then you will have FUN and enjoy and reap the rewards of your new business and lifestyle.


I would love to hear from you about your time and focus challenges and any solutions you have found.

The Future is Ours as Children of the Universe. Internet.




=

A New Future Based on Technology


Doom Disaster Despondency Despair Redundancy Recession


Daily we are bombarded with these negative images in the media. If we allow ourselves to be carried along by adversarial information we too will become negative.

This summer I have listened to many British tourists who come to Spain to escape the British weather and the doom and gloom in the country. Many of them are looking to "get out" and start a new life but they feel trapped by the Rat Race they find themselves in.


The Question we should all be asking ourselves is where is the opportunity and future in all this for us?

For things to change YOU have to change and people live in FEAR of change.
Here are two news words to learn

Conscious Mind + Objective Mind =Captain

You are the captain of your ship i.e. your CONSCIOUS mind and you give the orders to your SUBCONSCIOUS mind - now called the CREW


OK this is easy.


The CAPTAIN sits at the top of the ship. He is your CONSCIOUS MIND or objective mind.

The CREW are all down below. You can't see these guys but there is an entire team below. Some call this the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND and they do whatever the CAPTAIN dictates.

The CREW is responsible for keeping the ship afloat and will do whatever the CAPTAIN orders as long as he means it.

The CREW cannot create or decide. All they can do is copy. They take orders from above.

The CONSCIOUS sits on top and the SUBCONSCIOUS below. The same with your mind. You decide how to live your life and tell your subconscious to obey orders which it will do as long as you mean it. This is not science fiction.

How you process you life becomes your experienced reality. If you want to change your experienced reality you have to change the way you think.

Change how you think
Exchange old beliefs for new ones.
Alter and change how you absorb data.
Change how you re-act to life.



Life has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. Gone are the days of Job security and high pensions at the end of your hard working life.

Security now is what you produce for yourself not as an employee selling your time for money.

This is now the age to return to who we really are or were when we were children. We have the inbuilt skills to be entrepreneurs, creative, imaginative. Education is still very important to support our future development but in many cases education has bred out of us the ability to think and analyse. We tend to take orders and accept all that is handed to us on a plate and then spend our lives moaning about it.

You have to think "I CAN" " I DESERVE THE BEST" Start to build your self and your own self image. What do you really feel and believe? Who are you? Will the real John Smith stand up and be counted?

There are many people who enjoy their jobs and careers and that is as it should be. We need diversity in our society but in order to gain financial freedom and security you have to begin to harness your own talents and creativity.

Some people have great hobbies or interests like juggling, bird watching but they have managed to turn their hobby with the aid of the Internet and Technology into a lucrative second or even primary income.
Let me show you a step by step method through Attraction Marketing to develop your own home based based business and beat the recession
What do you want to offer to your children and the human race? Why not help yourself, your family and the human race to open up and accept the full potential that we are blessed with.

Discover the real inner you.


You won't get it right over night. It takes time and effort. You just have to get it going.



If you are surrounded by DREAM STEALERS - walk away.

Yesterday has gone. Tomorrow is not insight. Today is a GIFT! Use the gift wisely to celebrate who you are and who you are going to become.

Day by day work on yourself, your business, your self belief.
