Getting the Most Out of Your Time
Austin Gardner • March 21, 2024
What really matters is how we make the most of those 1440 minutes.
- Do more than one thing at a time: Listen to audio books while you're driving, working out, or doing simple tasks.
- Always have a way to take notes: Don't let good ideas slip away. Write them down so you don't forget.
- Avoid people who waste time: Stay away from those who talk a lot about nothing important. Try not to spend too much time with them.
- Use the early morning and late evening well: Take advantage of the quiet times in the early morning and late evening to get things done without interruptions.
- Work harder when you're most awake: Figure out when you're at your best and use that time to do important stuff.
- Use travel time wisely: Don't just sit there when you're on a bus, car, or plane. Bring a good book or find something useful to do.
- Plan your day in the morning or the evening before: Spend a few minutes thinking about what you want to do that day. Make a plan and stick to it.
- Make waiting time count: Bring something to read or do when you have to wait, like at the doctor's office.
- Get help when you need it: If someone else can do a job better and faster, ask for help. Focus on what you're good at.
- Hang out with a purpose: Don't spend time chatting for no reason. Organize your time and do things on purpose.
- Sleep on purpose: Decide when you'll sleep and stick to it. Too little or too much sleep can mess up how well you work.
- Plan time to worry: Write down what bothers you and tell yourself you'll worry about it later. This keeps you from worrying when you should be doing other things.
- Don't stress over small decisions: Save your energy for important stuff. Don't make a big deal out of little things.
- Focus on what you're doing right now: If you're ready for today, what comes next will take care of itself.
A wonderful historical story that will teach us a great deal.
Maximizing Growth, Overcoming Limits, and Achieving Excellence Through Effective Coaching
We need policies and control mechanisms but must learn not to rely on them exclusively. They undermine the very essence of a thriving workplace.
Navigating the World with an Open Heart and a Servant's Spirit
Your friends have left you. All earthly possessions are gone. Those you thought love you want you dead. What do you do?
Appreciating Your Past, Present, and Future
Starting in Mexico and continuing till today
Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.
In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary. Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you. Efficient Resource Utilization: Organized lesson plans and materials ensure learners make the most of their study time, covering essential language elements in a coherent manner. Clear Learning Objectives: Well-organized courses outline clear learning objectives, helping learners understand what to expect and what is expected of them. Resource Accessibility: Organized language schools provide learners with easy access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, multimedia materials, and language software.
