Now you can use these time management techniques. Like successful people, you can master the art of utilizing time more effectively, be more efficient and productive and eventually contribute to your advancement or success. See how they do it?

Proven Technique Number 1 - They delegate and assign simple routinary tasks to other people so that they can have more free time to do as they please. This is very elementary but of great significance. If you have the money, hire people to do the housework, the repairing, and even some of your office jobs.

Let others do the research. But of course, you have to reward them accordingly so they will get motivated to render their services again. You can then focus on the more important things in life, like planning and managing your activities.

Proven Technique Number 2 - They plan seriously.

The less time you think you have, the more critical it is for you to plan. By planning carefully, you'll be able to manage your time better and avoid costly mistakes that eat up much more of your time. You might say that you're so busy you don't even have time to plan. Maybe you can insert some time planning while doing your other activities. The planning phase is very important in organizing your thoughts to carry out the desired effects.

You might say that this is boring stuff, but you should never underestimate this process. This is like a guideline to steer you into the right direction.

Your plan will be your road map. Spend enough time to ponder through the different approaches and activities, and you will soon realize that you can save a lot more time by doing this. It will be best if you can choose a quiet place to make your plan. Your mind can focus and think more clearly this way.

Every individual has his unique perception of a well-made plan. There are no specific rules in making it. But in case you're in a tight situation, let me give you some tips.

1. Write down your objective. This is a precise definition of your target. 2. Brainstorm the strategies & tactics you will employ to accomplish your objective. 3. Assess the advantages & disadvantages of carrying out those strategies and choose those tactics where the pros outweigh the cons. 4. Set a timeline or deadline in completing your mission. 5. Make modifications & back-up plans in case Plan A doesn't work. 6. As your plan evolves, you will gain experience. Learn from your mistakes.

Most important of all, don't delay. Start applying what you have learned today, and have lots of great time!

By: maira | 09-11-2008
My grandmother used to say that, in order to have a healthy relationship that will last you have to pick a man that loves you more than you do. However, if i don't love a man i become unfaithful and does not take him too seriously. So, now that after a year and a half my boyfriend asks me to break up for the second time, even though we don't live together anymore so he wouldn't feel pressured. I feel that loving him more than he did is to blame. Or is it that , as he said, he has a fear of commitment? He is much older than me. (7 years). thank you

Are these legitimate concerns or just a result of over-thinking?
By: kel. | 09-11-2008
I feel a little stupid doing this, but I want some sort of answer without going to a shrink. I think I'm bipolar with a little bit of anxiety thrown in for good measure. But most of the time I'm fine. There are just days where I feel like I can't cope. And I think I'm going crazy. I feel like no one else in the world can possibly think some of the things that I think about... because they're just too odd. And I can sit in a room full of people and still feel alone. Am I taking normal thoughts and making them abnormal just by worrying too much? Should I go see a psychiatrist? Because I'm afraid that by going to see someone I'll find out that I have more things wrong with me.
