How do you spend your time each day?
Do you feel productive?
Do you get to the end of the day and realized the only task you completed was answering your email?
Do you run from one task to another, barely catching your breath . . . hoping tomorrow will be different!?
Is procrastination your curse?
Are you a thrill seeker? An avoider? Or an indecisive?

Kept the link I want to spend a little (productive time) working on this, being aware of the time I am spending to ensure it is effective.
Awesome! My favorite tips when saving links . . . if it’s going to take less than 2 minutes to look at the info, do it right away. If it’s going to take longer than 2 minutes, schedule it! I used to have a ton of links “saved” for later . . . until I started to schedule “read this!” into my calendar, they just “sat” in a folder on my computer! Hope you find tons of value when you look this over closer!

Lisa, thanks for the post about time. I have recently been pondering about my time management. I enjoyed reading the various areas of time misuse. Mine probably falls into the email category. I have tons of emails to sift through on a daily basis. Thanks for the insight in the other areas that I can work on too.
Julie –
Thanks for your comment! Email can be a time zapper! I’ve found it helpful to set aside various times throughout the day to go through emails, once in the AM, once mid-day, and once at the end of the day. This helps to keep the # manageable, but also helps me to keep focused on other priorities throughout the day. Otherwise, if I answer email as it comes in . . . that’s all I do! Best of luck!

Not surprised about the social networking one. I’m am guilty there! So much time just disappears in the world of Facebook and Twitter!
Great infographic. Will share. Thanks

Ann-Marie –
Social media! What a double edged sword for me . . . I want to use it to connect for business reasons, yet I find I could spend all day on it! A strategy that works really well for me is to set a timer – and when the timer goes off – I’m done! No matter what! I appreciate the comment!
Lisa
Lisa, that is a great way to handle email. Thanks for the tip – I will incorporate it immediately!!!
Julie
Yeah! Please stop back in about a week and let me know what changes.
