We all get just 24 hours in our day, so how come some people seem to manage to find time for everything and others are permanently rushing? When it comes to time management, some are definitely more equal than others.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most common complaint I hear from friends, colleagues and coaching clients is some variant of \u201cI would like to, but I don\u2019t have time\u201d. I don\u2019t have time to exercise, take up a hobby, read more, write my novel, go to the theatre\u2026 We live in an age of endless time-saving devices; we have more holiday allowance than ever before; and the Internet makes accessing information from around the globe the work of seconds. Yet some of us still struggle to fit everything into the same 24 hours that everyone else is getting. Here are a few simple strategies to reclaim the clock and slow down the race.<\/p>\n

1. Saying yes means saying no<\/strong><\/p>\n

And saying no means saying yes. When you say yes to dinner with friends, you are saying no to an evening on the sofa watching reruns of How I Met Your Mother. And when you say no to drinks with a colleague after work, perhaps you\u2019re saying yes to a bath, a book and early to bed. When you are conscious of what you\u2019re accepting and what you\u2019re rejecting, you can start to make more conscious choices based on what your body, mind and soul need right now. And that\u2019s a first step to using time on purpose.<\/p>\n

2. You can achieve a lot in 5 minutes<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can make the bed, do a short breathing exercise, send a text to reach out to a friend, or write a list of prospects to contact for your business. Every minute is useful for something. Don\u2019t get sucked into to thinking that if you don\u2019t have a whole hour to spend on a project there\u2019s no way you can make any progress today.<\/p>\n

3. Christmas is on 25th December, every single year<\/strong><\/p>\n

And this year will be no exception. So why do so many people find themselves queuing up to buy a soap selection basket in The Body Shop at 4pm on Christmas Eve? Why not buy gifts throughout the year (when you happen upon the perfect present or the sales are in full swing) and put them away until Christmas? Why not set aside a weekend at the end of October for some internet purchases and another mid November to head to the shops? It\u2019s all about planning. The same is true of birthdays, anniversaries and tax returns. Don\u2019t let events that you can so easily anticipate sneak up on you!<\/p>\n

4. Remember who\u2019s the slave and who\u2019s the master<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is Facebook a fun way of keeping up with distant friends or a time suck that distracts you from writing your thesis? Does Twitter help you keep up with the latest news while you\u2019re in between meetings, or do you find yourself emerging from a session of tweet-surfing to find that an hour has passed and your friend\u2019s surprise birthday party hasn\u2019t planned itself? Social media and the Internet can be forces for organisation and time-efficiency when used well. Make sure you\u2019re staying in control.<\/p>\n

We all get the same 24 hours every day. And what you choose to do with them is your business. Just make sure you\u2019re doing just that: choosing.<\/strong><\/p>\n
