A powerful time management program will include assessment(s) of your time related behaviors.Assessments are scientifically validated instruments that help you to understand either the “why" of your behaviors or the “how" of your behaviors, and can also indicate both depending on the instrument(s) used. Assessments eliminate the guess work about your time based behaviors. They also help you to uncover blind spots that you have about the way you handle your time.
A powerful time management program will help you to understand how you behave in relation to time in response to problems, people, work pace, and procedures. Usually you don’t think about these things you just react. Yet when you read the report you recognize and can see those things in how you behave. Understanding how you behave in response to certain stressors is a first step in making choices about what you want to do over what you are doing.
A powerful time management program will help you to understand why you behave the way you do in relation to time. This helps you to identify the real motivators which cause you to take action. Your motivators can be situational if they aren’t one of your two dominant motivators, but your dominant motivators are the things that will always spur you to action. Understanding your motivators helps you to gain clarity about what’s in it for you when it comes to taking action in certain areas. And if it isn’t a motivator for you knowing this helps you to identify what things to say “no" to in your life.
A powerful time management program will help you to develop your own personal action plan. That means that based on what you have learned from your assessments and how you behave in relation to time you are in a much better position to identify the top 1-3 areas that you want to focus your attention on. Then you need to get specific about the things that you could do that would have the most beneficial impact on you.
A powerful time management program will help you to develop implementable actions from your action plan. Nothing happens until someone takes action and that someone is you. Until you have your action plan down to the level of specifically what you want to do by when and how you will do that you don’t have an implementable plan you just have an idea board. The final step is getting your actionable steps into your daily planning system and then taking those actions.
A powerful time management program will include outside help. If it were so easy you would have done it yourself already and you wouldn’t even be thinking about time management issues now. The reason it hasn’t been so easy up until now is because you have tried to do it alone and you tried to do it without the key powerful elements required for an effective time management program. There are some things self-help isn’t a good fit for and for most of you time management is one of those things.
