Halo again

This has been one of the main problems i have been facing ,The difference between how people use their time makes or breaks their lives.

Avoid time wasters

Letting something or someone else waste your time means losing control of your time.

If you let this happen, you will never find those precious moments to call your own.

On the page that follows, you'll see a list of the most common time wasters that might be affecting you. Consider each of them and check the ones that you want to do something about.

For each, there are solutions available

On the list below, check the ones which you recognise yourself.


Not having a plan; lacking direction

Failing to set priorities; feeling trapped by indecision

Being unable to say no

Attempting to take on more tasks than you can possibly handle

Failing to delegate; trying to do everything yourself

Scheduling activities so that you have too much or too little time for something

Putting off something that should be done today

Focusing on how busy you are; avoiding priority work

Suffering from personal disorganization; being unable to find things because of clutter

Jumping from one activity, project, or item to the next instead of getting one thing done

Leaving tasks unfinished and having to rethink what you were doing in order to finish up

Getting bogged down by the details instead of keeping your goals in mind

Starting a project without having enough information

Lacking the skills to accomplish what you intend (e.g., having to fuss with the computer because you're not familiar with the program you need to use)

Being kept waiting

Permitting yourself to be constantly available by phone

Socializing during time you set aside for projects

Being interrupted by visitors who drop in - and letting them take control

Not getting to the point in a conversation; not saying what you mean

Holding a meeting without an agenda

Not using your commuting or travel time wisely

Watching television when you had planned to do something else

I am sure once you know what is the problem you are able to resolve , I am working on few of these myself .

Hopefully this helps !
