Have you ever been somewhere or been caught up doing something. Maybe talking to an old friend, and before you know it, three hours are gone. Just like that….snap!….their gone. You stand there scratching your head wondering……”Where did the time go?”

We all happen to have the exact same amount of time given to each of us. We all have twenty four hours. 1,440 minutes every day. The next day we get a fresh new batch.

So……What are you doing with the time that you have been given?

I know that some people are better at how they use their time than others. If you are an organized person, you will make better use of your time. If you are a dreamer, you will probably fritter away hours a day at doing nothing. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Some of the best writers and thinkers of our time have been dreamers. But, what are you? Dreamer? Thinker? Go getter? Don’t stop till you get the job done, kind of person? You need to know.

If you are a network marketer, you have to be organized with your time. But that goes with anything in life. The most precious commodity we all have is our time.

If you don’t control your time, everybody else will. You will be the one saying, “Look at the time”. There will be phone calls, unexpected visitors. There will be things that are just not going to go right. You will have to take some of your time and put things back together.

Everyday, I have an itinerary that I must follow. I have a time when I will write articles. There is a time when I will get on the phone and do some  prospecting. There is a time when I will cut some videos. You have got to have your time all planned out.

Your schedule should have some flexibility in it so you can handle those unexpected emergencies.  For the most part, I follow my itinerary as rigid as I can. If I don’t do that, which has happened in the past, I will come to the end of the day and say, “What happened to the time?”

Some people use a planner. Others have software programs that will remind them of the things that they have to do throughout the day. I am a note taker. I always am writing notes to myself. Some times they can get a little confusing, because they are written all over the place.  But I have my own special system. This way they are always right in front of me when I need them.

However you do it, you must get a hold of and organize your time. Make time for your family. Time for you to re-energize yourself. Remember, all work and no play, makes you and Jack dull and boring.

Keep those creative juices flowing. Get the right amount of sleep, rest, relaxation, and activity. It will keep your ideas and thoughts fresh and alive.

When you come to that final day on this earth, you aren’t going to be thinking about how much gold and silver you have, or did you get the boat fueled up for this weekend. You will be thinking about the time you spent with the people in your life. How did you give your time away?

When you organize the time you spend on your business, you will than have more quality time to spend with the real important people in your life.

never seem to find the time.

or half a page of scribbled lines”   Pink Floyd.  Time
