Time Management is a Myth

Is there such a thing as effective time management?  Can you effectively control time to your advantage?

Absolutely not!  You cannot control time no matter what anyone try's to sell you. It's not possible to manipulate the 24 hours we are given everyday.  Time management is a myth. 

You can, however, mange what you do with those 24 hours.  You can manage activities that you engage in.  So the real question is, what should I focus my activities towards?

The answer is a direct reflection of your goals and results. Do you want more money? Than what activities will drive more money your way?  Do you need more sales, then prospect more.  Do you need better closing skills, then get training. 

Do you want to lose weight, then your activities must reflect weight loss functions. Whatever your goals are, your activities must directly impact those desired results.  What activities you fill up the white space on your calendar with are how you manage the time you have. 

You must focus on activity management.  Time management is a myth.  You can control the activities you engage in.  You cannot control time.
