			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lots of people try to increase their standard of living by following courses of all kinds or by starting an own business, or by investing with wisdom.</p>
<p>Time is a crucial factor and many times stands in the way to complete many things successfully.<br />
Here are seven ways to boost your success rates and productiveness.</p>
<ol>
<li>Make notes on how you spend your time to see where it actually goes to.<br />
Get a personal information manager to start with to schedule time blocks.<br />
Monitor your activities closely. Huge time wasters are messing around on the Net, frequently checking email boxes, gaming and chatting, watching too much television, loafing and overuse of cell phones. Get rid of these time wasters when you detect them or at the very least put them into more specific and small time slots.<br />
YOU are the only person who can take charge of YOUR time, don&#8217;t let other people, activities or things take over.</li>
<li>Before you start your day, <span id="more-6"></span>quickly write down 3 main things you want to accomplish that day.<br />
Do this first thing in the morning. When you start working, prioritize those 3 tasks and get them done.<br />
If you don&#8217;t succeed in completing them, take a bit of time to solve why and readapt your planning so you do complete your goals in a successful manner. Maybe you plan more than you can do, possibly you need help…but find out why it failed so you don’t make the same errors every day and not accomplish your goals. Set yourself up to be a winner instead!</li>
<li>If you have a difficult task at hand that you can&#8217;t complete right now, break it into smaller junks and do them first. Getting daunting tasks done first makes you move on. If you aren&#8217;t able to do it, consider outsourcing it.</li>
<li>If you have boring tasks to do, interchange doing them with things you enjoy. As you reward completing boring task with working at more pleasurable ones, it will keep momentum going.</li>
<li>Reward yourself from time to time, certainly if you get such tasks done with. It&#8217;s a ‘job well done’! Rewards don&#8217;t necessarily have to be expensive. Just enjoy the little things in life, like a new book, a movie, a small trip. Invite your friends so you can enjoy your rewards together.</li>
<li>Say &#8216;NO&#8217; once in a while and continue your own activities. Stop worrying about the consequences. Just move on!</li>
<li>If you use a computer for many hours a day, take a stand-up break up every 60 minutes to stretch, give your legs muscles a bit of action and close your eyes to give them a break.</li>
</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every little task in daily life can be done by yourself.<br />
If you only take the time to learn how to do it right.</p>
<p>On the other hand, you can also use the help of others.<br />
If that aren’t friends or family, you often have to pay for their time.</p>
<p>Basically it’s a choice between time and money.<br />
Doing everything yourself won’t cost you money, but it takes a lot of time.<br />
Outsourcing costs money, but less time and results may come in much faster.<br />
It’s your choice.</p>
<p>But whatever you do, there’s one resource you can’t buy.</p>
<p>Nowhere, from no one.</p>
<p>There are no shops where they sell it.</p>
<p>There’s no website for it.</p>
<p>There’s no ‘underground market’ for it.</p>
<p>Nobody can help you get this!</p>
<p>Do you know what this resource is ….?</p>
<p>It is ….<span id="more-5"></span></p>
<p>….. <strong>TIME</strong>!</p>
<p>Now, why is this so important?</p>
<p>Because you have to SPEND IT WELL.<br />
Before you realize it, it’s GONE, forever!</p>
<p>How? Easy!</p>
<p>Stop complaining, nagging, waiting ….</p>
<p>Instead, look inside yourself.<br />
What do you know that could be of interest to others?<br />
What specific knowledge do you have that could be useful?</p>
<p>Associate it with your passions, lock the doors, focus and …</p>
<p>… DO something with it!</p>
<p>Time isn’t always money, but <strong>it’s always priceless</strong>!</p>
