Many production effectiveness tools can be used cross business models Robert that is the nice thing about having a business degree.

Even though my was geared directly toward the health care industry must of the principles and methods are interchangeable and have helped me in the operation of my websites.

If i remember correctly Rob, it was Les Brown that said, "we have 1,440 minutes in a day that gives us 1440 opportunities to impact someone else's life".

So essentially every minute we waste that is one less chance we have.

I try to keep my business life and my private life on two different time tables Sue.

While my business hours are meticulously planned out to the minute, this allows me to accomplish more during those hours to give me more time for the pleasures in life.

Just because I utilize time management to its fullest for business hours does not mean I can not be spontaneous and creative during those hours.

All work and no play makes Jim have a dull day. :-D

Thank you for that reply. I was worried that you'd take my comment as an affront and that was not how I intended it. Here's to Impulsiveness and Fun in our off-business lives and to Planning and Discipline in regard to business! Thank you Cal. :-)

I don't know you personally Sue,
But from the comments that i have read of ours you seem to me to be a very nice person .

I do not think anything negative from just about any comment, I always try to see the positiveness in every comment made.

unless of course they have all those funny little squiggly characters that replace certain word and in that case things do change LOL

Love the way you worded that better than I could have done,

Best wishes,
Calvin

Working smarter Elaine. is so much more efficient than working harder, and managing my allotted time for business allows me more time to do the things I like to do, fish and gardening.

Michael,

I am not sure what you are saying there care to elaborate more on that?

I though to metricize was to study or express in the terms of metric system?

I mean count them in passing!

LOL I would love to compare lists Maxine, just to see.

I not only multi - task almost every waking minute of the day I often am preforming 3 and 4 tasks at the same time. I have a remote mouse and keyboard, and utilize a voice app so when I am doing daily household choirs (I am a bachelor) I am producing correspondences to emails, other business related communications, or documents for one of my four websites.

And now because of the mobile app I can write comments for the WA website now as I am mowing the yawn. Mobile to read the content and voice app to post with the PC.

The last blog I wrote I used the voice recognition app and was pulling weeds outside the whole time I wrote it. Once I go inside then I just had to do a quick edit of the draft prior to posting to one of my websites.

I am often on the phone and typing at the same time which was problematic at first because the keyboard and the cell phone do not play well around each other. But I figured out that if the cell phone is blocking the path of the keyboard and the USB chip it interferes with it so now I use the speaker phone and use the cell phone 3 feet away from the keyboard problem solved. LOL

Its not so much as wasting any minutes Karen.

But rather its concentrating on how we are using the ones we have more efficiently making our time more effective toward our daily goals or accomplishments.

As we get older which many of us on here are doing gracefully of course :-) Colette and Phillip.

We need to make sure we are utilizing ever minute that we can, this will help us conduct and operate our businesses more efficiently as well.

Effective practices of one discipline helps us get a better handle on all the other disciplines we should be practicing also

HI Valerie

That's what I thinking also, what a way to start the week off right!
.
Now I'm thinking about maybe making this a Sunday afternoon ritual for me. What do you think if I write it will they read it?

Thanks for the comment,
Calvin

Hi Calvin,

I reckon they will read it!

Keep your inspiration flowing and you're sure to become the owner of a 'just got to read' blog.

All the best :)
Valerie

Yes Vicki, I could not agree with you more, the better the plan the more we can accomplish as well.
Enjoy and plan your 1440 wisely :-)
