If I Just Had More Time

 If I Just Had More Time
By: John Burdin

     As we enter our workday each and every day as well as our personal lives ask yourself the following question; how well am I organized, my managers, my team? As we know, most people are not well organized. Although most of us believe that we are. This is often a mask for, “I don’t want to be organized” or “it’s too much trouble to be organized”.
     In the twenty-first century and never more so than today, being organized is a real key to success. Some of the old tried and true methods of organization will still produce results, however in a business world that is moving ever more rapidly, the more efficient we operate the more we can achieve. And, that all starts with being well organized.
     Time management is a key element of organization for everyone at any level in business or at home. With a limited amount of time each day to perform all the things we have to do, having a schedule and sticking to it is a key element of success.
     Think for a minute about how your life would improve if you at least had a good idea what each hour would bring or you could expect. What difference would it make if you knew exactly what each hour would bring or you could expect. It doesn’t sound like much of a difference, but the difference between having a good idea and knowing can be considerable.
     Most people in management positions have been doing things their way, and same way for quite a while. After all that is a big part of why they are in the position they hold. To owners, managers and on down the line, five minutes here and five minutes there doesn’t sound like much. Add it up, and see how much it really is.
     No one is talking about cracking a whip or anything like that. That is not what this is about. For the sake of conversation let’s say that you are operating at an organizational efficiency of around seventy percent. We’ll agree that things are pretty good, but what would it be like if that were kicked it up just five or ten percent to eighty percent. That would generate a tremendous jump in productivity results, and most likely those improving would feel a lot better about themselves, their work and maybe end up with more time for less important things. Their time at home should be much improved as well.
     A more efficient work environment, a more productive work environment and a better quality of life – What more could anyone wish for?
     It’s all an issue of how we parse our time, and with only twenty four hours in a day, it is very important that we don’t waste too much of it.
