Over the last few weeks I've been sharing my journey as a student in the Holistic Time Coaching Class. When I first enrolled in this course, my thought process was that I would be able to fine tune my personal time management strategies and learn some new methods I could use when working with clients. AND - this is certainly true. (Read more about [...]
Today I'm going to continue my "time management is like a boat" analogy. First, you need to keep your head above water, then you can get into the boat. When you are feeling overwhelmed and out-of-control it is difficult to make long term decisions. Every thing feels immediate and urgent. However, once you are able to move past the overwhelm, then you can begin [...]
Have you ever looked at your schedule and realized that it was pretty packed? A client recently told me, "I scheduled 7.5 hours of tasks into a 7 hour day - and didn't schedule any time for lunch, email maintenance, or productivity (or potty!) breaks. Then, I got upset because I didn't finish everything. That's crazy, right?!" Is this familiar? Enter Julie Gray's Time [...]
Time management is a journey - not a destination. Becoming more efficient and effective is a goal, a mission, a vision - not a stopping point. Excelling in the area of time management means something different for each of us. I'm curious ... where are you in your time management journey?

Previous Belief: If the task, appointment, priority is important, it must be scheduled at the same time every day. Current Belief: If the task, appointment, priority is important, it must be scheduled. [su_youtube url="http://youtu.be/KZWvfE3rCD8" width="360" height="280"] Confession time - I love my flexible schedule. I do! Having a schedule that differs day to day is one of the things I like about owning my [...]
"I'll start exercising as soon as things get back to normal." "As soon as my business evens out, I'll spend more time with my family." "I'll take a vacation as soon as things settle down." Guess what - I hate to rain on your parade, but this IS your normal! [su_youtube url="http://youtu.be/Q-89uE14PwY" width="360" height="280"] Waiting until "things get back to normal" is counter-productive. You [...]
Goal Setting. Do you set goals? If you do, are they long term? Short term? A combination? At the beginning of each year I set goals. Sometimes, I also revisit these goals around my birthday in June. But, on a day-to-day strategic level, I don't necessarily put much focus on my "big goals". AND . . . until taking the Holistic Time Coaching class [...]
"Time Truth: Task management is about capturing your priorities, sorting them into a tool you trust, and tracking them until they are completed." - Julie Gray. Welcome to the next post in the "Teacher as Student Series" where I share my new awareness with you regarding my learning when I was a student in the Holistic Time Coaching class taught by Julie Gray and [...]
Delegate. Delegate. Delegate. Delegate. Intellectually we know that when we delegate a task - we free up time to work on our priorities. However, deciding which tasks to delegate can be a challenge. I thought I had a good handle on this. Really! I teach clients how to delegate tasks all day long. Of course, I delegated effectively myself. Right? WRONG! As I put [...]
