E-book Title: 14 Days to Total Time Control
Author: Martin Avis
Book Description: "Get More Done ... Increase Productivity ... Make More Money. It's Simple Really!" "Control the time in your life
so you can get on with having
the time of your life" Time management is an impossible dream. Nothing you or I can do will ever change the rate at which time flows past us.
Each second, minute and hour is the same for each and every one of us: 86,400 fixed-length seconds in every single day. Regular as clockwork.
Why is it then that some people manage to achieve so much with the time allotted to them, while others can only watch in amazement? I'm Martin Avis and I'm a procrastinator There. I've said it. All my life I've been a procrastinator. You may be one too - there are an awful lot of us about! It has always been easy for me to sit idly by and wonder how other people manage to get so much done.
Easy, but by no means satisfying. In fact, I'm sure you'll agree that watching others succeed can get mightily frustrating. But, for procrastinators like us, doing something about it is the problem. The Secret of High Achievers In the end I came to realize that my super-achieving, get-things-done friends had the same amount of time in their days as I did. Their secret is that they control that time differently.
I started reading everything I could find about time management and observing people who seemed to have 'cracked it'. A lot of what I read in books seemed too complex. When you are as fundamentally lazy as I am, the last thing you need is to be faced with a fifty page chapter on the benefits of goal setting, or a whole book on making to-do lists. Fast Time Management Solutions What I needed, and I suspect what you need too, were fast solutions that I could use quickly and get instant results from.
And I needed lots of different time management strategies so I could pick the ones that worked with my personality.
The answers were out there, but more often than not hidden in dry boring books that waffled on and on for thousands of words before getting to the point.
Over the years I've found effective time management strategies that work for me. I'm still, at heart, a time wasting procrastinator, but I'm now one who is in control. I've learned to manage myself in order to control the way I use my time.
Without wishing to brag, I now manage to get more done than most people - I've written six books, publish a newsletter three times each week (over 800 issues so far), write articles and reports, own and run more websites that I can even remember - and run a successful offline consultancy business. And I do all that while still goofing off, dithering around and wasting time.
The difference between the achiever I am now and the onlooker I used to be is that when I need to get things done I have simple, effective strategies that keep me on track and focused.
When I started to write about my time management ideas in my newsletter, Kickstart Today, I found that my readers really resonated with them. I got lots of emails from folks thanking me for the tips and strategies. Many of them commented on how refreshing it was to find a strategy that would normally take up an entire book encapsulated into a few short paragraphs that they could use in their lives right away. Taking control of your life doesn't have to be difficult... Eventually (I said I'm a procrastinator - these things take time!) over a couple of years I collected my time management tips, tricks and strategies together into one book. That book is called '14 Days to Total Time Control'.
It is a simple, easy-to-read system that gives you several workable, proven plans each day. Some will fit your personality, some won't. It is for you to pick just one or two from each day and apply them immediately.
There is no heavy reading and no interminable pages of waffle. Just useful information that you will use instantly to take total control of the way you use your time.
You'll see results from day one, and by the end of the 14-days you'll wonder why time management ever seemed to be a problem.
Of course you'll still be a procrastinator - that's part of who you are. Neither I, not anyone else will ever change your basic personality. But your procrastination will be in your own control.
And it is that control that will turn you into one of those super achievers who you've only ever watched from a distance. ...Or Expensive - How much is it worth to you to have an extra productive hour a day?
- What value can you put on increasing your productivity?
- Can success or achievement be bought at any price?
In the US the Federal minimum wage is currently $5.15 per hour. In the UK it is just over double that figure.
'14 Days to Total Time Control' will give you at least an extra hour a day of usable, achievement-focused time. And not just for one day, but for the rest of your life!
What price should I put on that?
If I only asked you for the minimum wage for one hour a day for one month it would work out to $154.50 (or $321 if I were to use the current UK figure!) and you'd be getting the bargain of a lifetime!
And I bet you value your time at a whole lot more than minimum wage!
But you and I both know that I'm not going to ask you for that much - even though it would be worth every penny. More... |
