6 Time Management Habits Of Successful Women

6 Time Management Habits Of Successful Women

Everyone wants to excel and be successful at something.   Some of us want to be effective role models for our children, others want to be leaders at their professions, while others want to perfect their craft or hobby.

Then there’s those individuals who want to be successful at everything they commit to. But in order to be effective leaders, parents or role models, we need to develop the skill sets necessary to achieve our true potential.

Those who have been successful before us can lead us through their trials and tribulations and carve out a path we can emulate.  We can look at the techniques and strategies they used and determine the least path of resistance.

One of the best places to start your journey to success is by learning time management skills.  We get so busy being busy; browsing the internet, taking care of emails, spending time on social media, our time management skills suffer.

6 habits of successful women

Then at the end of the day we’re frustrated by our attempt to have a productive day but 5 pm rolls around and we contemplate what did we really accomplish?!

Today we are going to look at some of the top time management habits that successful people have used to power their efforts and be leaders in their industry.

Be On Time

Be Early, Not On Time and Not Late

One of the first things people need to understand, in order to become successful, is to be early. Planning to be on time leaves too much room for error. What happens if you get stuck in traffic, forget an item or get delayed in a parking structure? The stress and anxiety will increase and you will appear disheveled and winded when you arrive at your destination.

Remember this famous quote:  “To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, to be late is to be forgotten.”

When you plan to be early, you have time to remain calm, take a few deep breaths and prepare yourself . From parties to work events, interviews or meetings this is a great habit to develop.

Some of the most influential people set their watches five minutes early to create a routine of showing up early at any event.

Get Enough Sleep

Does sleeping less allow you to become more successful? No! Plenty of people who are trying to become successful skip sleep in order to be more productive throughout the day. When you sacrifice even an hour or two of your sleep, you are harming your success.

Your sleep allows your body and mind to recharge and rejuvenate itself. Without a recharge, you will not be operating at 100%.

Successful people know sleep is essential and are committed to ensure they get enough rest each night. They also make their bedroom a sanctuary where they have a place to escape, relax and rest peacefully.

Exercise Regularly

Exercise Regularly

Successful people know the connection between productivity, happiness, and exercise. They plan an exercise routine each day to fuel their mind and body.  A lot of successful people begin their day with an exercise routine,  this allows them to get their mind going, and their body energized.

Exercise is a loose term. You can do just about anything to release those  endorphins.  It can be power walking, yoga, riding a stationary bike, walking on the treadmill or hitting the weights.

Some individuals who need to stay committed take morning fitness classes.  Decide what works best for you and stay focused on keeping your mind and body fit.

Electronics

Turn Your Electronics Off

Cell phones, desk phones, and the internet are constantly distracting us and keeping us from performing at an optimal level.  The average office worker spends a large portion of their day reading emails and texting on their cell phone.   All of this time takes away from being productive.

At the start of your day, read through only the most important emails and respond to the most important calls. Then turn your electronics off.

If you need your computer in order to complete tasks  make it a habit to  keep the internet browser closed. It takes just under 25 minutes to refocus on a task after you have been distracted. On the road to success, you don’t need this distraction.

Get back to your less important digital distractions after you have accomplished the main tasks of the day.

Learn To Plan

Learn To Plan

Planning is important when it comes to success. Planning involves coming up with a one year, three year, five year and ten year plan.  Don’t just plan it out in your head, write those goals down on paper.

Goals take on a whole new meaning when they appear in front of you in black and white.  Then Commit.

Also write down how you plan on getting there.  Without a roadmap, you just may repeat the same cycle over and over again.  Plan Your Work and Work Your Plan.

While planning is important remember to stay flexible. Life is dynamic and to change is to progress.  When we adjust to it, we gain knowledge and wisdom.   Stay open to change and allow it to come through.

Your priorities may change and you may fall behind but use is as motivation to get back on track and follow this new path to success.

Successful people also plan on the micro level, planning their days out to the hour. Sometimes to the minute. Learning to keep a calendar/scheduler can be a big productivity booster.

Even planning out time, such as when you will work on each task can be a significant benefit.

Read Books to feel inspired

Read Books to Get Inspired

Reading is an essential element for success.  Books contain a wealth of knowledge and wisdom from the individuals who authored them.

It’s about recapturing the fire and rediscovering your “WHY”?  There is always a reason why we started in the first place but sometimes life throws us a curve ball which discourages us and makes us believe we are not capable of achieving our goals.

Take a step back and gain inspiration from a famous author.  Anyone who has been successful has had failures, obstacles and roadblocks.  However, the difference between a successful person and unsuccessful person is the person who came through the trenches and never gave up!

If your are feeling a little discouraged today; start an inspiration book and get your mojo back!!  I want you to Stand tall, Stand proud and know you are unique and amazing!!   Show them whose BOSS!

Remember: forming a daily reading habit will expand your knowledge and help you on your journey to success!

Time management is one of the most important skills you will learn. Unfortunately, most schools don’t prepare us to manage our time in the real world. Take these tips to mind and join other successful people by adopting these positive habits.

5 Ways To Simplify Your Life

Simplify Your Life

Simplifying your life simply means getting rid of those things that no longer serve you.  I want you to concentrate more on those items that are essentials and bring meaning to your life.

This requires you to do an inventory and determine which items you can eliminate.  By decluttering your home and work space it will help you feel more energized and motivated to work smarter.

The less you have, the less there is to take care of.  This enables you to have a sacred space where you can relax and be calm.  Let’s look at some ways you can simplifying your life.

5 Ways To Simplify Your Life

1. Learn To Say No

Learning to say NO can be difficult for a lot of us.  When we cannot commit to a specific event, we feel we may be disappointing the other party.  We tend to say yes, because it so much easier to do.  We would rather deal with own internal negative struggles, then other people calling and annoying us on a daily or weekly basis. 

However,  saying NO is not meant to be a disappointment, its meant to strengthen you.

We have to make a decision to adjust and declutter areas of our life.  Be true to yourself, your beliefs, your convictions and your priorities. 

When a request comes your way, do not answer quickly.  Think about your convictions and priorities and then say NO gracefully. Don’t tell them you will get back to them shortly, because you will end up saying yes out of guilt. 

Remember to stay firm but polite.  No other explanation is really necessary.  If you feel obligated to say something then say:  “It just does not fit into my schedule,”  and this would be acceptable.

2. Start Removing “The Stuff” You Don’t Need

Your quest for simplifying can begin by getting rid of those things you’ve been hanging on to for years.  First you need to decide where to begin.  

Perhaps those old clothes that no longer fit, or decluttering the basement, closets, cupboards, garage, dressers, pantry… you get the idea.  I am just as guilty as the next person.  All of the areas  I just listed are in need of decluttering at my home as well.

However, I have been trying to get a handle on it lately.   I am either bundling up items to give to Goodwill or I am selling on ebay, facebook marketplace and craigslist.  I am benefiting both ways; simplifying my life and making some extra cash along the way!  

When you begin to remove those unnecessary items, you not only feel energized but you feel just a bit lighter personally, physically and emotionally!

5 easy steps to build your confidence

 

3. Limit Your Buying Habits

Many times we are given to impulse buying which makes us buy what we need and what we don’t need. However, this can be controlled.  Yeah!

  • Make a shopping list
  • Buy your items with cash
  • Think before you buy.  Ask yourself; do your really need this item?
  • Stay within your budget
  • Eat at home
  • Embrace DIY projects

When we spend it feels fun and invigorating in the moment.  It’s the minutes or weeks later where the “buyer’s” remorse can set in.   You need to be aware of spending triggers, so you can eliminate impulse shopping sprees. 

There are certain places and people who may encourage us to spend when it’s not necessary.  Perhaps it’s the Starbucks around the corner you stop by every morning or a friend who tells you those shoes would look perfect with that new dress you just purchased.

It’s about having self control with those triggers, so you only spend what your budget allows.  Try taking a different route to work or maybe you invite a friend to an exercise class instead of a trip to that cute boutique.

I know mindful spending habits may be difficult at first, however, they will produce a lifetime of rewards if you stick with them.

4. Spend Time With People You Love

Spend time with people who love you unconditionally and bring out the best of you.  Sometimes the bond that links you to a true family, isn’t necessarily your blood relatives, it’s the people who bring you joy and respect you.

It’s rare nowadays that true family members even grow up under the same household.  If you were not blessed to grow up in a family unit who supported or loved you, then go out and seek people who make you feel worthy and lift you up.

Once you found your family unit, cultivate and cherish those relationships. Keep in touch with them, love them, offer sympathy, support and encouragement. 

When you spend time with the people you love, you fill more fulfilled and happier and isn’t happiness the essence of simplicity? 

5 easy steps to build your confidence

 

5. Spend Some Time By Yourself

Take time to meditate on your life and determine where you see yourself in 5, 10 or 15 years from now.  It’s about discovering who you are emotionally, physically and spiritually. 

Ask yourself; what is your true passion and purpose? What sets your soul on fire?  You have the talents, gifts and experience… you just need to uncover them and walk in the direction of where you are led.  

It’s time to shine your light!

Create your goals, plan your work and take action each day. When we listen to the silence and practice self care, we can hear the answers.  

Final Note

Some people walk around and have no plan for their lives.  A life without a plan, has no course and no direction.  In order to simplify your life, you must plan and prepare.
