TIME MANAGEMENT IS SELF-MANAGEMENT1/9/2019 Have you noticed that whatever effort you put to manage your time it ended up poorly?
Well, time management is self-management. If you cannot manage yourself, set healthy boundaries, and intentionally create that balance that you need to succeed in all aspects of life: self, family, business, spirituality, abundance, and belonging- then, it will not happen in your life time. Don't let time wasters and disruptions occupy your schedule. There is time to check in for emails, texts, and calls that can wait until you are done. Returning an important call can be scheduled within a few hours in a day. Don't cram your schedule to the maximum feeling like you have accomplished more but in fact, you run yourself out of fuel and have not really made any progress towards quality but just ticking the to-do lists of assorted unrelated tasks. Cluster your work in the way that it comes together strategically operating on the best use of time for that greatest result that you can get out of it. Take time to have peace and calmness in your mind. The last thing that you can do is stay up late and being unable to sleep because the preoccupation of the mind has not settled in. Being grateful for how the day turned out regardless, is the best antidote for a restless sleep. Spend more time with family and those you love and cherish the most. They wont be there all the time with you. When work is done, close the computer, table, phone, laptop, and other electronic devices and focus on creating memories that last. Time well spent start with the end in mind (Stephen Covey). There are many things to do but are you doing the right things or doing things right? Quality versus quantity. Efficiency versus Effectiveness.

LOSING MOMENTUM1/9/2019 After the holidays, my family went home recently and started to resume our normal routines. My husband said that he lost the momentum after a while- eating more than usual, staying late than usual, and doing less than usual! I, myself, have felt the same thing. The body started to entropy and lost the formal balance when not being used to its former state.
That is the same as in many businesses and organizations that lose its balance, fell prey to the recent shiny object, and wasted enormous amount of energy looking for that formula for success. One County Manager has asked me, 'what is your secret, Maiden to that success in engagement? I said, there is no secret. You put in work, day in and day out, and accomplish what you have set out to do, even surpass it. The secret (which is the book) is the biggest scam on earth including all the pyramid schemes that exist. Until now, people fall prey to it despite the fact that is proven to be fake and unethical, keeping the founders rich but not the latest entrants. People want quick fixes for less amount of money, time, and energy. The momentum allows us to keep doing what we ought to being done at less energy because we are in that zone. Some call it the field, or some call it, just everyday effectiveness, which is to me, what is it all about, sans all the esoteric names some gurus put to it. The problem with all of organizations and businesses is that they prolonged the time to go back to current performance and preoccupation because of many disruptions, distractions, and discontinuities that prevail in their minds. The longer you return to your normality (whatever new normal would that be) the harder it gets. Being in limbo is not a good thing.
