Choosing What is Best – The Key to Time Management - Part 2

By Action Coach Dave Beam

I work with so many clients that feel overwhelmed and out of control.  They believe the lie that if they just had more time, or if they managed their time better, that they would lose that feeling.  The fact is that the feelings of overwhelm are rooted in a lack of clarity about what is best.  Almost everyone has more to get done than time to get it done.  If you lack clarity on what is most important, then you will feel overwhelmed and indecisive and will lack focus as you try to accomplish whatever you choose to do.  Another common myth is that we can multi-task.  The truth is you can only do one thing at a time.  You may be master at changing from one thing to another quickly and jumping from one task to another, but at any moment you are only doing one thing.

If you have read the last few articles and done your homework, you should now have a basic understanding of your core values and priorities.  To help you gain mastery in your life and schedule, I recommend that you read David Allen’s book, “Getting Things Done”.  He provides a clear process for capturing and processing all of your ideas, to do’s, duties, things to read, places to go, – EVERYTHING in your life and on your mind.  He outlines a brilliant system that shows you how to capture, define and process everything in your world so that your mind can be freed and available for maximum performance.
