This is some more great information I picked up off of Professor Randy Pausch.
Most of us have a budget that we keep. And those that don’t find themselves in the -red quite often, yes? Well, just as we should have a money budget we should have a time budget as well. I will tell you this when you have bad time management, your stress level, it sky rockets! Plus all the information will help you, yes save precious time, but it can be considered great advice on your life as well. So instead of time management lets call is “LIFE MANAGEMENT”.
Here are a few things that have us wasting around two hours per day, add that up, wow! Two hours per day!! That is a considerable amount of time, and if I were of the green personality I would tell you in days, hours, and min per year that would save you. I am not. So we move on.
Here are just a few things:
- A messy desk
- Can’t find things
- Unprepared for meetings
- Tired/unable to concentrate
Here are two statements that Randy used and they made me slap my forehead!
- BEING SUCCESSFUL DOESN’T MAKE YOU MANAGE YOUR TIME WELL.
- MANAGING YOUR TIME WELL MAKES YOU SUCCESSFUL
Are those just so profound? I love these ah-ha moments in life!
And no I am not saying if you stay unorganized and sloppy, like myself at this moment, you won’t succeed. But if you manage your life and time well, you have a lot better chance of getting there sooner!
Alright, I am going to leave you to think of what you would like to do with the 2 hours you are going to save yourself after dealing with the above issues. I was thinking a nice hot bath for at least an hour of that and then maybe…..alright snapping out of it. Or I will be wasting even more time! Hee, hee, hee!
I know this section is short, but if you are anything like me, those 4 things up there will keep you thinking and busy for a bit!

Great post, Rhonda ...
I think I fall on the other end of the time management spectrum -- which isn't good, either.
I might even label myself "neurotic" when it comes to managing time. I sometimes feel a little too regimented and structured.
Maybe I'll let my desk get really messy today! (smile)

My trick to keeping an organized desk is to NOT have one ~ actually I do, but it's too messy to work at.
Thanks for posting this blog. Getting better organized is my TOP priority right now.
