Time Management from Mind Tools - How to manage time and maximize effectiveness

Very good tool on time management

As I've matured, I've learned that a secret of failure is impatience.

A SECRET TO FAILURE

We live in an age of instant gratification. We are not accustomed to waiting.
Yet…we do find ourselves waiting from time to time.

* You may be waiting for an answer to a difficult problem. Or waiting for guidance around a business decision or interpersonal problem.
* You may be waiting for a situation to change before you can move ahead
* You may be waiting for somebody else to complete his or her task before you can act.

We are not accustomed to waiting and most of us don't like to wait. We feel helpless.

You may remember how it felt to wait for Christmas when you were a child. I recall one Christmas when I was about four years old. I waited forever for Christmas to come. I couldn't sleep the night before in anticipation. When I awoke Christmas morning I quietly crept downstairs to the large Christmas tree to gaze at the presents there.

We celebrated the holidays with my extended family – grandparents, aunt and uncle, cousins, parents, brothers. It was a rule that we waited until everybody was gathered together before presents were passed out. I waited half the morning for the grown-ups to wake up. Then I waited for them to shower, dress and eat. I didn't think I could wait any longer!

When the family was assembled around the tree, it was announced that we would have a special visitor that day…and we would have to WAIT for him to come! I waited some more.

Finally, the visitor arrived. It was Santa Claus. And he said he'd be passing out presents that year. My uncle usually passed out presents, but he didn't seem to be around so I accepted the arrangement without question.

Santa first handed a present to one of my cousins. In our family, we waited for each person to open their gift before the next present was passed out, so I found myself waiting once again. Santa Claus passed a second gift to another cousin. I waited some more. The third went to my grandmother. The next to my brother. Another present was handed to one of the adults to open.

I couldn't stand the waiting any longer. When I thought nobody was looking, I grabbed one of the presents and began to open it. Santa quickly snatched it from me with strong words of reprimand. I was crushed. Other adults chided that I should wait patiently for my turn. I burst into tears, which seemed the only appropriate outlet for my frustration.

I learned two things that Christmas:

First, I learned that I did not like to wait patiently.

Second, I learned that I did not like Santa Claus. (I BELIEVED in Santa, I just didn't like him!)

How are you at waiting? Waiting is difficult for children, but adults can learn patience.

But as I've grown older, I've learned the value of waiting patiently. The great events of life cannot be rushed, and all good things will come to fruition in their own time.

An old proverb says, "Don't pick apples while they are green. When they are ripe, they will fall off the tree."

As I've matured, I've learned that a secret of failure is impatience.

I've also learned that Santa is a pretty good guy.

YOUR WORK IS A GIFT

Work sometimes has a bad reputation in our world. But there is something worse than work, and that is boredom. At least that is what Drs. Kathryn Rost and G. Richard Smith of the University of Arkansas say. After analyzing the mental health of heart attack survivors, they concluded that one factor which greatly reduced the chances of depression was going back to work.

And why not? At work we are often around friends, and people with strong relationships will almost always fare better mentally. But we humans also need to be useful and productive!

Arthur Kroeger wrote in Quote magazine (August 1994) that his brother sometimes visited an Anabaptist colony in southern Alberta, Canada. During one visit he asked leaders how they dealt with the problem of misbehavior - when people rebelled against the colony's strict rules. He was told that these people were first asked to correct their behavior. If they did not respond, they would be given a stern "talking to."

"But what do you do when all else fails, when somebody stubbornly refuses to behave?" he pressed.

"Ah," came the reply, "if it comes to that, then we don't give him anything to do."

The ultimate punishment - don't give them any work! If that doesn't sound so bad, just ask those who are unemployed how they feel about not working....

It has been wisely said, "The Lord didn't burden us with work, but rather blessed us with it." We need to be busy and productive.

Whatever it is you do to make a living - be grateful. Those long hours and that feeling of exhaustion at the end of the day come from having something useful to do.

Your work is a gift. You are blessed.
