There it was again, this morning. I was driving to my first meeting of the day. And scanning through radio stations when the Rolling Stones came across singing “Time is on my side.”
I talked about the Rolling Stones about three years ago.
And I mentioned how it can feel like time is on your side, when you’re young. But before you know it, you’ve got a lot less time. So, it’s crucial to avoid unnecessary distractions and interruptions. I shared a couple of tips about that in this video:
Here’s the link to the video, in case you don’t see it: (https://youtu.be/hvx3ES5pt9M)
Yeah, you gotta manage your time. Or someone else or something else will.
And I like to call it schedule control. Because gaining control sounds much more effective than just managing. Right? Why just manage life’s distractions and interruptions when you can effectively control them?
Here’s a factoid I think shows how important it is to control your schedule. For every interruption or distraction from your work, it takes 5 to 7 minutes of your time to recover.
That means it can take that long to get back on track. Because you gotta get your mind back in the right gear. And you gotta figure out where you left off. And those 5 to 7 minutes add up. Especially if they happen multiple times a day, every day, week, month, and year. Before you know it, you’ve built up a HUGE waste of time.
That’s all productivity time you can’t afford to lose. And you’ll never get back.
And it doesn’t even really feel good to think about it. Does it?
Anxiety loves to creep in when your mind wanders off into distraction land. And that’s not good for you, your business, or anyone around you who’s affected by your lack of productivity.
So, try out those video tips today.
