Dr Mike Murdock said ''people who
have what you don't, they know and do
what you don't''. This is why I am obsessed with knowing what I don't know
and need to know for I don't NEED to know everything. We live in a knowledge
era, everything at finger tip; but we don't need to know everything…only what
matters to us at a given time.
Give yourself an out of body experience, divorce your soul from your
body and audit for SEVEN DAYS what
you do and how long you do it daily from sunrise to sunset. Pretend you are an
independent consultant auditing what the other you is doing and produce a
report.
Below is my typical week arranged in order of percentage of largest time
spent:
Write down every little detail of what you do trivialize nothing…they
don't say the devil is in the details for nothing…write down EVERYTHING
including time spent in the rest room, eating, watching telly, sleeping, on the
phone texting, time on the phone talking, time of facebook socializing or
investing etc
At the end of the auditing, study the report objectively and ask
yourself these questions:
1. Is there anything I am doing that I should stop immediately?
2. Is there anything I am doing that I need to give more time and attention?
3. Is there anything I need to do that I don't do now? what is
it costing me?
4. Where does most of my time go? is this where they should
go?
5. Where does most of my 'productive hours' go? is this where they
should go?
6. If I was to advise the person whose report I am reading, what will I
say?
If life is a journey, and it is, then to be able to answer the questions
above adequately, you need to understand that YOUR LIFE is also a GIFT, not to you, to someone—in a form of what you have that they need—SERVICE. You need to DISCOVER what kind/sort of a gift you
are and to whom are this gift is addressed.
Taking your life as a gift and a journey, you should know the following
before you attempt to answer questions above after self-audit experience:
1. Your Destination—dream, aspiration, purpose in life: what satisfies you most in serving
others? what would like to be remembered as?
2. WRITE down
what you consider to be your lifetime
achievement, #1 above: break it down to 20yrs,
10yrs, 5yrs, 3yrs, 2yrs, 1yr, monthly & daily.
3. WRITE
down a daily to do list broken down as a result of #2 above: then arranged the list in
order of priority/importance, work on the list in this order.
4. What you need
to BE and HAVE to get to your destination: you are a gift that needs
costant improving and other assets to function well.
5. PUT ON an
attitude of a winner, that's right it is a garment to be worn: DECIDE TODAY that you can do
anything you put your mind to and guess what, YES you CAN.
Remember, a successful life is one bent on knowing and pursuing a
worthwhile dream by serving others in the process. How we SPEND time, that's
right time is spent just like money, will separate us.
Time is money, Time
waits for no man,
Time should be invested not wasted, Time
should be made not waited,
Time is a priceless commodity, Time
is given to everyone equally
Where do you spend most of your
valuable time on earth? Life is not just spent, it is invested, where you
invest so shall you earn your dividends, be they good or bad!
