How Being On Time And Organized Helps You Succeed

There are a lot of different factors that come into play when it comes to being successful. Today, GenuLines looks at two of them (organization and punctuality)

These can make a huge difference in your day-to-day life.

man able to succeed

Think back to some of the most successful people you’ve ever met. Chances are they were good at both of these – organized and on time.

There’s a reason why both of these factors will make such a big difference when it comes to being successful.

Both being on time and organized can help you make the best possible use of your time and energy. When referring to energy, it includes both mental and physical energy.

We have a limited supply of both. Plus, we’re restricted to 24 hours a day.

In other words, both time and energy are limited resources.

Being on time and staying organized help with making the most of those resources. They focus those resources on the things that help you reach the goals that define success.

There are two different ways in which being both on time and organized will help you succeed. Let’s look at both of them.

Then we’ll take a quick look at how to get better at them.

Saving Time

How much time have you wasted this week looking for a misplaced item or file? How about your car keys?

Did you waste time by missing an appointment and then having to wait? Making an effort to be on time and staying organized helps you save precious time and energy.

Being on time is all about time management and awareness. Work will always stretch out into however much time you give it.

Better awareness, time management, and organization will make your work more effective.

Looking Professional

Showing up late for an appointment or interview is bad form. So is poor preparation or having to dig around for a few minutes to find something you need.

This is particularly true when it comes to first impressions.

You want to get the chances you deserve, and people see you as the respected person or expert in your field that you are.

How To Get Better At Both

You now know why it’s important to work on getting organized and being on time. So, let’s look at how you can improve both those skills.

What it comes down to is getting into the habit of being conscious of time. Add to that staying on top of organizational tasks.

Yes, if you’re VERY disorganized, it’ll take some up-front work to clear things up. Once completed though, you have to make a daily effort to put things back in their place and stay organized.

This is true for physical items, digital items, and even thoughts and ideas.

The short answer then is to practice both being on time and staying organized. Work them in to your life every day until they become habits.

Energy Management vs. Time Management

January 24, 2023 John Uncategorized No comments

Busy days can send your energy gauge to near zero. You concentrate on how you spend your time, and the push and pull your create is exhausting.

You can “balance the books” with this GenuLines look at both sides of the equation. 

Energy Management vs. Time Management

You’ve likely heard the old adage, “Life is a marathon, not a sprint.” You manage your time without paying attention to your energy management.
 
child with energy
 
 
And now you’re running a sprint rather than pacing like a marathoner.
 
Research tells us that productivity and success have more to do with how you manage your energy. And they have less to do with time management.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
At Work
In your work life you often try to do the things that give you more time.
Eating healthy, staying fit, spending time with your children and connecting with others all can suffer..
 
These take time and you do have to schedule some of your pursuits.
 
Have you considered whether you have the energy for those pursuits?
Trying to adhere to certain times to manage everything can leave you exhausted.
 
You’re not able to relax and enjoy yourself when you’ve “scheduled the time” for it.

Be The “Boss”

The alternative to managing your time is good energy management. This works when you take time to recover from those lengthy sprints.
 
You’re able to finish the marathon with ease rather than anguish.
Here are some tips for effective energy management.

Write It Down 

Make a list of what makes you feel refreshed, more creative and lifts your mood. It’ll help remind you about the benefits of these uplifting activities.
 
For example, watching a great series or show you’re following on television. Or sipping a cup of tea and listening to music.
 
These can ramp up your energy levels.
 
Do your best to take longer breaks. Don’t stick to a time table when it comes to stepping up your energy level.
 
Have fun with whatever you’re doing. And reward yourself for every goal reached.
 
Pressed For Time
Do you have lots of projects and it seems you’ll never finish them to be able to relax and enjoy yourself? Break those projects down into parts.
 
Reward yourself after you complete each one. This beats waiting until you finish the entire project.

Recovery Stops 

While you’re on a long sprint, you may feel the need to stop and renew your spirits and your energy. Do it!
 
You’ll feel so much more like completing the marathon and you’ll be happier at the finish. Managing your energy is a much more effective way to move through life.
 
Your inner energy thermostat doesn’t pay any attention to the time table you’ve created. Know this and, make it the most important factor in the marathon called life.

10 Signs You’re On The Road To Success

November 28, 2022 John Uncategorized No comments

You’re serious about making your life a success. But is all that effort really paying off?

Today GenuLines looks at some indicators that help you answer that question. 

10 Signs You’re On The Road To Success

The meaning of success can be a bit tricky because it’s so subjective. Rarely do two people share the same exact experiences.
 
But there are certain milestones that are general enough to help give us a sense of direction.
 
success sign with purpose
 
 
These milestones help pick us up when times are hard, lift our morale. They serve as a reminder of how far we’ve gotten and how much we’ve accomplished.
 
They also act as a beacon to help guide us if ever we stray from our goals and objectives.
 
Here are 10 of the most common signs you’re on the road to success:

1. You have plans and you’re passionate about them

Most people think success is all about the goals. And while that’s true, the bigger part of success is having a framework.
 
Something that will help navigate you until you reach those goals. You don’t want to let others’ definition of success influence your vision.

2. You learn from your mistakes

Acknowledging your shortcomings can be tough. But looking at things from a wider angle will give you mental clarity.
 
You’ll be able to try things in a different way next time around. Plus, being able to adapt means you’ll find more creative ways and insights to achieve your goals.
 
And learning from others’ mistakes make gives you valuable knowledge from their experiences.

3. You strive for more

Having constant goals that you’re trying to reach is a sign that you’re motivated and excited about life. Seeing the future before it plays out is an important trait of successful people.
 
They know what they want and make plans to get it. And they treat obstacles as learning experiences.

4. You welcome feedback

Criticism can be harsh, especially as you get started. But you need to see it as helpful advice, instead of personalizing it. Use it as a guide to help improve yourself.

5. You spend your time wisely

Planning your schedule in an efficient manner helps you get as many things done as possible. You don’t often get sidetracked.
 
You’re focused and punctual. If you’re an early riser you get excited about what the day has in store for you.

6. You have initiative

You aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty, and work outside your comfort zone. You’re aware that no one will turn your dream into a reality except you.
 
So be willing to roll up your sleeves and jump right in. Always look for better and newer ways to achieve your goals.

7. You’re excited about learning new things

Be curious about everything. You’ll gain a little bit of knowledge that you didn’t have yesterday.

8. You work well with others

When you work well with others and play on each other’s strengths, you all come out winners. And best of all, you reach your goal faster and with better results.
 
One negative aspect of working with others is that it’s easy to assign blame. But confident people step up, take responsibility.
 
They work hard at finding an alternative solution. And they’re happy when others are successful

9. You know your weaknesses and strengths

Working to improve your weaknesses and polish your strengths is itself a sign of success. You exude confidence and a sense of inner stability.
 
And who wouldn’t want to work with someone like that?

10. You’re tenacious and not quick to give up

Even when things aren’t going your way, you don’t see giving up as an option. You have goals in mind, and plans to follow to reach those goals and nothing can stand in your way.
 
You stay positive in the face of adversity, and you don’t settle for less.

Time Management: Key to a Better Life

May 23, 2022 John Uncategorized No comments

Time can be a merciless tyrant when you let it get the upper hand. But things go much better when you’re the one in charge 

Here are some ideas from GenuLines on how to become master your time. 

Time Management: Key to a Better Life

Time management is pretty much about focus. The Pareto Principle is also known as the ’80:20 Rule.’
 
It tells us that 80% of efforts that are not time managed or focused generate only 20% of the desired output. But 80% of the desired output can result from only 20% of a well time- managed effort.
 
(The ratio ’80:20′ is only arbitrary. It’s used to put emphasis on time management’s effect on gains or losses.)
 
Some look at time management as a list of rules. They can involve scheduling of appointments, goal settings, and thorough planning. It can also include creating to-do lists and prioritizing.

But There’s More

There are more skills involved in time management than the core basics. You also need to see the big picture.
 
Your efforts are meaningless if you have the wrong goals. Other personal growth must-haves are decision making, clear vision, and critical thinking.
 
Personal time management involves everything you do. No matter how big and no matter how small, everything counts.
 
Take into consideration what you learn, advice you consider, and skills you develop. And make life-style balance the desired result in your personal time management.
 
This is a part of personal time management that many of us overlook.

Stress?

For some people, time management seems stressful. They think it means that they must not ‘waste time’ by doing anything they don’t enjoy.
 
But that’s not it at all. In fact, it can be closer to the opposite.
 
Time management is making time for the things that matter to you, not about being busy.
 
There are six areas of life that personal time management can improve. These are- physical, intellectual, social, career, emotional and spiritual.
 
The physical aspect involves having a healthy body, less stress, and fatigue.
 
The intellectual aspect involves learning and other mental growth activities.
 
The social aspect involves developing personal or intimate relations. Add to that being an active contributor to society. 

Time Management and Choices

The career aspect involves school and work. The emotional aspect involves recognizing appropriate feelings and desires and manifesting them.
 
The spiritual aspect involves a personal quest for meaning.
 
Some of these areas lend themselves well to basic time management skills like to-do lists. But determining which area isn’t getting enough attention is important too.
 
Each one creates the whole you.
 
For Your Consideration
One permanent improvement step to consider is reviewing your goals. This is the case whether it be immediate or long-term goals.
 
A way to do this is to keep a list that is always accessible to you. This is not a to-do list but a list of your goals.
 
You can add to it as you like. Remember, you have goals in all aspects of your life.
 
In fact, everything you do moves you toward one of those goals. Even if it is a goal you did not know that you had. 

Get Physical

Another aspect of time management is recognizing your physical abilities and needs. For example, everybody has peak times of day when their concentration is at its best.
 
For most people, this is around the middle of the morning. Use that period to work toward one of your goals that calls for concentration and sustained effort.
 
It would be wasting that peak time if you spent it sitting and watching TV. Yet sitting and watching TV for an hour in the evening may not be a waste of time at all.
 
It can be a good way to wind down for a restful night’s sleep. You can include most every kind of activity that you enjoy in your day.
 
But make sure it keeps its proper place.

Get To It

It’s important not to procrastinate, or put off the things that need doing right now. If something is your top priority for the day, then get started on it right away.
 
If you start doing other things first it will become harder and harder to tackle the main task. You’ll end up without much achieved.
 
So the night before, decide what will be your top priority for the following day. Then tackle it as soon as you can when the day comes.

Be In The “No”

Learning to say “No” to some people or activities is important if you’re going to make the most of your time. It could mean telling your boss that you’re not the best person to do a certain task.
 
Or that if you do this, you won’t be able to do that more important thing that he also wants from you.
 
It could mean telling your kids that you can only play with them at certain times. It could mean turning down an invitation.
 
Or rescheduling a meeting to make way for something more important.

Remember Your Priorities

None of this will be a problem as long as you make it clear to other people that they’re important to you too. When it’s time for work, you don’t play with the kids.
 
And when it’s time to play with the kids, you give that your full attention.
 
You don’t act in a way that makes them think that you would prefer to be working. Remember, time management does not mean prioritizing your work above all else.
 
It means making room in your life for everything that is important to you.

How to Create a Time Management Plan

January 18, 2021 John Uncategorized No comments

Time waits for no one. How true that is! 

But GenuLines has some ideas that will take waiting out of the equation and put time on your side. 

(You can listen to this article by clicking here)

How to Create a Time Management Plan

Creating a time management plan keeps you from wasting time. Having a plan makes every hour count.
 
hourglass of time
 
You work at a good pace. And your time gets good distribution over the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly tasks.
 
Creating a time management plan is an important key to success.
 

 

 

 

* Be Realistic With Your Plans –

Don’t go against your own internal clock when planning each day. If you know you struggle to get up in the morning, don’t schedule things in the early morning hours.
 
If you can manage the tasks you like first in the morning, try that.
 

* Set Time Limits –

This is especially important for both tasks you dislike and for the ones you like. There’s a risk of procrastination when you spend too much time on tasks you like.
 

* Say no to Distractions –

One of the biggest killers of any plan is distractions.
 
These include television, phone calls, social media, even children and spouses. You can head off most distractions by planning ahead.
 
Turn off the TV. Turn off the phone.
 
Use social media only at certain times- and use a timer. Explain to kids and spouses the importance of not bothering you while you’re working.  
 

* Differentiate Important from Non-Important Tasks

Understand what is important and what is not important. If you make it a habit to do the most important things first, you’re going to feel more accomplished and get more done.
 

* Calendars and Technology –

Use Google Calendar or another system synced to your phone. This is a great way to ensure that your calendar is always with you and that you don’t forget things.
 
You can even set reminders and alarms to help.
 

* Kick Urgency out of Your Life –

For instance, if you’re a service provider, stop taking last-minute work orders. Train your clients to give you plenty of time to work tasks into your schedule.
 
Set family time and playtime into your schedule too. That might avoid a last-minute meltdown from the little ones, too.
 

* Create and Use Lists –

It’s one thing to note on your calendar the words “work on project A”. But it’s quite another to list what you’ll do when you work on project A.
 
This is the most effective way to schedule your time so that you meet your goals. Be very specific with lists so you don’t waste time.
 

* Create a Daily Action Plan –

Have at least four or five things that you can do each day toward any goal that you have. Plus, having a variety of things to do each day can avoid boredom and procrastination.
 
Creating a time management plan is an essential element in creating success. Most successful people live and die by their calendars.
 
Take the time to ask one.

What Does Being Productive Really Mean?

December 7, 2020 John Uncategorized No comments

It’s tough being productive during a time of lockdown. And not a good time to think about ways you can kick things into gear. 

So GenuLines feels it’s a good time to bring you an overview of how you can make this happen.

(You can listen to this article by clicking here)

What Does Being Productive Really Mean?

productive manIntending to be productive is a worthy pursuit. But over time and with overuse the definition of productive has become a little fuzzy.
 
Now “Productivity” is a sort of buzzword. It’s used in employee training seminars and self-help techniques.
 
 
 
 
If you don’t get the true meaning of this word you might waste valuable time that could be better spent.
 
In a fast-paced driven society we’re expected to produce more in less time. Unfortunately, this can often have the opposite effect.
 
Here are a few things to consider when looking at how you spend your time,
 
Busy & Productive Are Not Synonymous
This might be the biggest misconception about what it means to be productive. Staying busy and on the go doesn’t always mean you’re being productive.
 
Being productive means you are actually getting something done.
 
It’s easy to jump from one task to another. Could be you shift your focus and attention every five minutes, all in the name of “multi-tasking.”
 
Now and then ask yourself if you’re actually accomplishing anything. For example, after a five-hour stint on your computer at work, take a look at the end result.
 
Have you produced something of value that was not there when you first sat down at your desk? Never confuse being busy with being productive.
 
Progressing Towards Something
This kind of piggybacks off of the previous thought. But this tip deserves its own discussion.
 
You can get into a kind of “grind” mentality.
 
You spend hours working at irrelevant things. Again, this may or may not help your productivity.
 
With anything that you dedicate a lot of your time to, there should be an end goal in mind.
 
Have a well-understood plan of how you’ll reach it. Productivity involves a linear path from where you are right now to what you want to get done.
 
If you’re working hard only for the sake of working hard, you run the risk of wasting valuable time and energy. It’s always important to consider your “why” before you commit your valuable time to any task.
 
Balancing Productivity
Achieving anything worthwhile often involves hard work and focus. But it doesn’t mean neglecting every other area of your life in the process.
 
For example, you want to transform your body and get in better shape. Will it help if you neglect your closest relationships and other commitments, too?
 
True productivity includes nurturing every aspect of who you are. Even during the pursuit of something specific.
 
Sure, there are going to be times when more of your time and energy goes toward one thing in particular. But make sure that not ALL of it is!
 
As a human being, you are a lot of things at the same time.

What Kind of Mindset Do You Have?

October 19, 2020 John Uncategorized No comments

Your mindset can take you to great heights. Or, it can keep you mired in the depths. 

Today GenuLines steers you around the negative mindsets and on the path to genuine living. 

(You can listen to this article by clicking on here)

What Kind of Mindset Do You Have?

Thinker mindsetYour mindset is what compels you to take a certain action or leads you back off from acting on something. It influences how you see yourself and those around you.
 
Different types of mindsets can mean different things to each of us. And they can say a lot about how and why you think like you do.
 
Each has benefits and drawbacks.
 

 

A numbers game

The number of mindsets that exist is dependent on how much you generalize them. Finding your type is key to understanding how you operate in every area of your life.
 
There are two main types of mindsets, Fixed and Growth. Each has benefits and downsides.
 
If you have a fixed mindset, you tend to believe your skills or qualities are set and you resist changing them. These include your intelligence level, and your personality or character.
 
This can cause you to limit yourself and focus on proving yourself to others.
 
Some of the sub-mindsets of a fixed mindset include these tendencies:
 
· Fear 
 
· Laziness 
 
· Envy 
 
· Greed 
 
· Short-term thinking
 
· Anger
 
· Tendency to follow
 

Characteristics include:

 
1. Blaming others for things that are wrong
 
2. Lazy habits
 
3. Relying on addictions
 
4. Insatiable and always want more
 
5. Self-absorbed, with little thought of others
 
6. Limited initiative to achieve
 
7. Obsessed with what others are, do or say
 
8. Waste time
 
9. Come across in a negative way
 
With a growth mindset, you tend to believe in a basic set of qualities. You feel you can cultivate and develop them through effort, strategy, and help from others.

 

Some of the sub-mindsets of a growth mindset include:

 
· Social 
 
· Business 
 
· Dreamer 
 
· Gratitude 
 
· Confident 
 
· Creative 
 

Characteristics include:

 
· Willing to help others
 
· Solve problems
 
· Think big and know what you want
 
· Feel gratitude for what you have
 
· Eager to learn
 
· Dedication to achieve and grow
 
· Able to change and develop skills
 
· Embrace challenges
 
· Learn from failures
 
What type of mindset is the basis of your thoughts and actions? Do you believe that this is how you are and can’t change?
 
Do you believe you can change, and things can be different for you? The good news is you can change your mindset to one of growth and abundance.

Your Stress Doesn’t Have to Own You

April 29, 2020 John Uncategorized No comments

What do you do when the constant stress of staying tethered to your house all day feels unbearable? Try some suggestions from this GenuLines list to help you “chunk-down” the job of de-stressing.

Your Stress Doesn’t Have to Own You

calm man resting in chairStress is unavoidable in life, but we don’t have to feel stressed around the clock. We can often prevent stressful incidents and decrease our negative reactions to them.
 
 
 
As a result, many times all we have to do to reduce our stress is to acknowledge that it’s there. Also, there are steps we can take to do an effective job of stress management.
 
banner to counter stress

Managing time

Time management skills can allow you more time with your family and friends. Furthermore, they can help with performance and productivity.
 
This will help reduce stress.
 
To improve your time management:
 
· Save time by focusing and concentrating, delegating, and scheduling time for yourself. 
 
· Keep a record of how you spend your time, including work, family, and leisure time. 
 
· Prioritize your time by rating tasks by importance and urgency. Re-direct your time to activities that are important and meaningful to you. 
 
· Manage your commitments by not over- or under committing. Don’t commit to what isn’t important to you. 
 
· Deal with procrastination by using a day planner. Break large projects into smaller ones.
 
And set short-term deadlines. 
 
· Examine your beliefs to reduce conflict between what you believe and what your life is like. 
 
Build healthy stress coping strategies
It’s important that you identify your coping strategies. One way to do this is by recording stressful events, your reaction, and how you cope in a journal.
 
With this information, you can turn unhealthy coping strategies into healthy ones. Those that help you focus on the positive and what you can change or control in your life.
 

Lifestyle

Some behaviors and lifestyle choices affect your stress level. These may not be direct causes of stress.
 
But they can interfere with the ways your body seeks relief from stress. Try to:
 
· Balance personal, work, and family needs and obligations.
 
· Have a sense of purpose in life. 
 
· Make sure you get enough sleep since your body recovers from the stresses of the day while you are sleeping. 
 
· Eat a balanced diet for a nutritional defense against stress.
 
· Get moderate exercise throughout the week. 
 
· Limit your consumption of alcohol. 
 
· Don’t smoke. 
 
Social support
Social support is a major factor in how we experience stress. This is the positive support you get from family, friends, and the community.
 
It affirms to you that you’re cared for, loved, esteemed, and valued. And research shows social support can support better mental and physical health.
 
Ways of thinking
When something triggers negative thoughts, you may experience a range of problems. These include fear, insecurity, anxiety, depression, rage, and guilt.
 
Add to those a sense of worthlessness or powerlessness.
 
Emotions like these trigger the body’s stress, much like an actual threat does. Dealing with your negative thoughts and how you see things can help reduce stress.
 
· Thought-stopping helps you stop a negative thought to help do away with stress. 
 
· Disproving irrational thoughts is good practice. You’ll avoid exaggerating the negative thought and anticipating the worst. And you won’t give it an incorrect interpretation.
 
· Problem solving helps you identify all aspects of a stressful event and find ways to deal with it. 
 
· Maybe it’s time to change your communication style. You want to make sure others won’t feel put down, hostile, or intimidated.
 
This reduces the stress that comes from poor communication. Use the assertiveness ladder to improve your communication style.  

And Finally…

Anybody can get stressed. You don’t have to have a high powered job or any job at all.
 
Let’s face it unemployment is stressful in itself.
 
Whether you’re a mail carrier, the CEO, or a parent, stress is going to affect you from time to time.
 
Above all, how you deal with it is what counts.

Notes to Start the Week March 10, 2013

March 11, 2013 John Uncategorized No comments

Well, lots of folks turned the clocks ahead one hour over the weekend. Time becomes a news story in the Western media when this part of the year rolls around.

Most of us have said, “If only I had more time,” as a way of explaining why we aren’t leading our most fulfilling lives. In her 2012 Chi For Yourself interview Marney Makridakis turned the concept of time management upside down when she brought us some new tools for viewing and experiencing time.

Listen to the show here:

 


Marney Makridakis is the author of “Creating Time: Using Creativity to Reinvent the Clock and Reclaim Your Life.”

 

Meditation is on the menu this week. Our scheduled guest on Chi For Yourself is Ajayan Borys, author of Effortless Mind: Meditate With Ease. The interview is scheduled for 1pm Pacific on Wednesday instead of the usual Thursday. The Google+  streams seem to be working well, so I’m planning to stream our talk on chiforyourself.com.

Speaking of meditation, there’s a global meditation planned for later this month. Get the details here at TheMasterShift.com.

 

…and, in Lexington, Virginia they’re observing Spiritual Wellness Month at the VA hospital there. Good quote from the VA- “At Lexington VA, we recognize that the Veterans we care for are spiritual beings having a human experience rather than human beings having occasional spiritual feelings,” Read the whole story…

 

Be well
