Get your Life back on Track with 101 Free Success Tips

We must always seek to find better quicker ways to do things. The most precious resource of all is TIME,
in order to succeed we have to get leverage in every thing we do.

How do we get leverage?

• We can train people to do our work if we have a skill
• We can learn to have the courage to delegate (trust your co-workers)
• If we are a writer we can turn a text into a blog, into an ezine article or an audio-recording
• We can invest in the right equipment and training

Many who could have been/should have been successful simply exhausted themselves  trying to do everything themselves

The best ever Time Management Tool which is also simple to use is ACTION ENFORCER

Schedule your most important Interview last, being interviewed gets easier the more you do it, because you get used to the questions and thus can give more polished answers. Read your CV carefully (it is easy to forget what you put in it if you wrote it just weeks ago) so you will not be surprised if you get a question on whatever is in it. Make sure that there are absolutely no spelling mistakes/grammatical faults (use Word Spell check), get a friend to proof read it. If your important interview is your only interview , then get a friend/colleague to give you a practice interview

Procrastination is a terrible problem but one of the reasons we Procrastinate is because we don’t get our daily tasks and to-do lists completed rapidly enough, so we NEVER get to the Important but not Immediately Urgent Tasks.

This is usually due to Frittering our time away, how long we take to start doing serious work when we sit down at our desk, how usefully we use odd lumps of spare time waiting for a meeting etc. We would be horrified if all the time we frittered away could be added up. If you find yourself doing your best work doing free overtime when most have left then this is a sign you frittered your normal working hours away.

Conquer Frittering and you’ll find you’ve Conquered Procrastination at the same time. I’ve made a lot of progress since I’ve been using Action Enforcer this is the first Time Management Program which does it for me.

So remember : You Procrastinate because you Fritter your Core Working Time Away, Beat Frittering and You’ll Conquer Procrastination without even realizing  it!

I honestly personally use and recommend  Action Enforcer

Yes Man is a highly amusing film which appears to mock self-improvement. In the film Jim is really down on his luck and is in danger of becoming a recluse, he reluctantly goes to a self-improvement seminar where the Guru advocates saying Yes to everything.

Carrey throws himself into this and finds himself joining a daily jogging group at 6am, watching experimental music, basically doing new things and traveling outside his comfort zone.

Although some of the things that he says yes to bring him luck and some misfortune the technique works he forgets he’s depressed and start to live again!

We all need new challenging things in our lives, so go on join a class, learn a new language, a new hobby or sport, meet different people, oh and see the film!

Once upon a time I used to listen to Classical Music frequently I noticed however that it would often interfere with my concentration as it seemed to demand that I pay attention to it. Recently I have unexpectedly found that rap music was conducive to study especially if I didn’t understand the words.

I suspect that in fact I’d require different music for different moods or different work. What the music does is it seems to me is distract or keep busy that part of you which seeks to escape from the task, that sends you to the fridge or to unnecessarily check your email.

In any case I’ve found YouTube to be full of music for those trying to study or to write a complex report, try typing in “motivation” or “concentration” and you’ll find a staggering choice of all music forms, noise of rivers, the rain etc

Do you have a Jekyll and Hide character? Are there days when you are the Good Dr Jekyll , just get on with work and tasks, where you deal with problems effortlessly and do you have lackluster Mr Hyde days when you can’t even decide which job to start. I have been using Action Enforcer to help me with my Mr Hyde days, I only really need it get going as I know once I get a few jobs completed my energy levels will increase. Action Enforcer obliges you to choose one task and then stick to it. It works because it’s very easy to use and becomes a kind of psychological supervisor setting you a self-defined deadline.

More and more working people whether home-workers or not have to be self-motivating have tasks that need completing but have no direct supervision just an expectation that work will be done. Students studying for distant examinations or writers with a delivery date may be months away are in the same boat. They become more and more anxious as time is frittered away. In all these cases Action Enforcer is a boon learn more by clicking here

A trusted colleague  enthusiastically recommended a computer program
called Action Enforcer. It is a way of setting up a set of daily task
timers. I have even set a timer to write this post. I use it when
I have a tricky or tedious task to complete, others plan their
whole day even using it to program their breaks. Procrastinating
friends and colleagues have been boasting of suddenly being able to manage their time and get through their schedule, of feeling on top of things!

Also at the end of your day you can see where your time was spent.
. I set a timer for 30 minutes of paperwork, then 30 minutes of report writing etc. It is very simple to use; why it works so well is still a bit of a
mystery but I think it’s just your pride you don’t want the alarm
to ring before you’ve finished the task!

Any Way It’s the Best Tool I’ve Ever Found Learn more by clicking here

I’ve just cleared/purged my desk of all unused/neglected knick-knacks and it feels good! I’ve thrown away  vitamin pill boxes  (probably out of date), stationery I no longer use, projects I’m unlikely to finish etc etc. I finished with a large bin-liner full of junk. I can now tell what color my desk is it’s walnut-veneer!

A little bit of mess is cool, too much drains some of your life force!

Curiously we remember our failures more than our successes because of ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) which see to the job of recalling our disasters and embarrasments.

Keep a Success diary of all your successes, exams, breaking a bad habit, new job, salary increase, trying something new, got a compliment from a customer or boss, entered a charity walk, cycle, swim, solved a problem for someone, helped someone, donated charity.

Read your success diary from time to time when you are down and you will be surprised just how many things you do really well.

My own diary starts in February 2004, I’d like to show it you as an example but I believe it’s a little too personal.

Just How do you Create More Ideas?

The successful make use of every little bit of their time, they get down to doing serious work quicker. If a 15 minute gap in their schedule appeared due to a cancellation they would automatically slot in another task, or take a power nap or a real break. What they wouldn’t do is fritter away the time with aimless browsing, reading emails. Become aware of how much time you are frittering, have a list of 5 minute tasks ready that you can focus on before the temptation to fritter overcomes you!
