Don't Let The Internet Throw You Off Your Time Management Plan!
The Internet is taking over everyone's normal way of living. When we consider time management, we must also consider the World Wide Web.
In times passed when we thought of managing time we considered family, friends, work and ourselves. We now have to add to our list, emails, websites, advertising, search engine marketing, article marketing and other key factors that are included in businesses today especially if we have an internet business.
At one time we went to work for eight hours and returned home. Now, more often than not, our office is a part of our homes and we might not know from day to day exactly what our workload will include.
Technology and the internet are supposed to make our lives easier. I sometimes wonder about that. It has actually made my life busier and sometimes even more difficult. When the computer freezes and decides not to operate a person can spend hours just fixing whatever occurred. When all things were on paper, the paper was always available, unless of course, I misfiled it! Computer breakdowns and stalls can take a real chunk out of the time I had planned to spend another way that workday.
Time management is critical for us all. Without a time management plan we can develop headaches, high blood pressure and other illnesses from the stress of never having enough time to do what needs to be done. When we manage our time effectively we seem to function well in society and at home.
The massive amount of data that passes us each day via the Internet has changed the entire outlook of time management in the last few decades. We often spend a lot of time just sorting through the pile of emails to find out which ones matter the most. This is not good!
Time management means to spend your time wisely. Most email advertisements are slicks that draw us into a world of fantasy and provide us with links to never, never lands that seem to never end. One can get carried away needlessly on "nonsense." It is wise to try and discipline ourselves to stay on track with a positive time management plan for each day. I suppose we just have to keep our fingers crossed that the computer does not crash at any given point in our day.
Surfing the web is another source that can take our time and allow us to misuse it. With so many colorful and interesting headlines to confront us or a sudden pop-up that distracts us from our original goal a person can waste several hours that could have been spent in a much wiser manner. Self discipline today with a time management plan is much more important than ever before. Staying on the track we originally planned to stay on is often very difficult to do because of the internet's enticing ways of guiding us elsewhere.
To obtain an efficient time management plan today you need to avoid the areas on the internet that consumes your time such as the "chat rooms." I suppose these can be compared to the "coffee break rooms." They should be avoided while you are trying to accomplish the work goals you set for yourself in any given day.
So that in conclusion, it is a little more difficult to stay focused and mange our time wisely when most of our work involves sitting at the keyboard in front of the computer that is hooked up to the internet as well. Be careful, and don't let the internet sway you into 100 other plus more topics. Stick to your time management plan if you are ever going to accomplish your work goals in life, you will need a solid time management plan that you stick to. I am trying very hard to put one in place for myself.
