Time is the one thing I could use more of.
“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Albert Einstein
Time is one thing you can never get back once you have wasted it.
For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned.
Time is truly more valuable than gold.
As internet marketers and or program owners we often find ourselves wasting time. I wish I would have used the last 2 years more effectively. Budgeting more time with the family. Made sure I stayed on task when working. And made a calculated guess on what tasks were going to bring me the most solid results when I’m working or playing.
See my mind moves in like 8 different directions at the same time for most of the day and that can eat up a large chunk of the day switching gears or having to jump from one task to another. After looking through a lot of my notes I can save a lot of time just by shutting down the computer 3 times a day.
Face it we are all pretty guilty of opening more and more windows in this browser or that one. So that you’re wasting time with trying to find a certain tab or page.
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” Steve Jobs
So how are you going to make better use of your Time?
And that’s My traffic exchange 2 cents.

Great post James – organizing your day can lead to maximizing your accomplishments for the month.
Wonderful quote from Steve Jobs.
I have learned to be true to myself because other people’s opinions only waste valuable time. Instead of trying to please others, if I please myself first, the job will get done much faster.
That is a great way to look at it. I may need to work that in to my game plan. i just need a little time to practice it
Good post. But that’s five minutes I’ll never get back
ROFL hahahah and its gone forever
What I really need is about three more of me LOL.
But since I don’t think that’ll happen any time soon, I do try to keep the distractions
at bay when I’m heavily focused on something. Then once that task is complete I can relax
a bit and reward myself with something fun or mindless for a few minutes before I tackle the next task. Rather than getting overwhelmed thinking of all the things I need to do, I usually set mini-goals for the day, and once I reach that goal I feel like I had a productive day.
I think since we’re all so “connected” nowadays, budgeting time away from the computer and
gadgets is something we have to force ourselves to do. I try to be mindful of that and I do step away from the computer for a period of time each day so I can attend to my “offline” life.
Of course I then have to race back to the computer…. LOL
rofl an offline Life I like that quote
I love what i do online – that makes time fly by and some times getting stuck in the rut of hanging out and not getting the work at hand done
