Today is the first day of August... what other "first day of" could it be for you? Could it be the first day of posting about something youre passionate about that your following doesnt know about? Could it be the first day of not drinking alchohol first the next 30 days? For me, today is the first day of me choosing to get organized and stay organized for the next 30 days! This doesnt mean I've been completely unorganized, nor does it mean every piece of paper will be lined up and in the proper place in my office. It simply means I am going to be intentional about categorizing my thoughts and goals, prioritizing the tasks I have to do using the 'Eisenhower Matrix', and remaining resilient and focused despite my ever wandering mind. What 'first day of' will today be for you?

Here we are July 1st…this might be a great time to start to prioritize your time. What is most important to you? How is your to do list linked to your purpose? Are you saying yes to every great idea that comes across your desk that is not in alignment with your vision? You have permission to say NO to great ideas that don’t align with your purpose. Here are some more tips in my blog on Prioritizing Time. https://loom.ly/96thcb8 If you want to discuss how to implement best practices for time strategies, DM me.

Contrary to popular belief, we are really not managing time but managing 'ourselves' with respect to time. Time just ticks away whether we like it or not 😊 There are many strategies on what and how to manage our time, but if 'why' is also clear then its effectiveness goes to next level. Focusing on our own circle of influence (a few selected 'important but not urgent' tasks) works wonders in self management. Wonderfully visualized by Manuel Arellano.

"I don't have time" is a lie we often tell ourselves. The hard truth is that we always have time for what truly matters to us. When we say we don't have time, we mean "it's not a priority." Accepting this forces us to be honest about our choices and values. Instead of feeling powerless, we recognize that we control how we spend our time. Next time you catch yourself saying, "I don't have time," consider whether what you’re avoiding is truly important to you. If that task is aligned with your values, you can make the time to do it by timeboxing. Block out time for what's important, and follow through on your plan to work on it.
