Six Months To Go ...

For some reason today - I've had three calls from journalists writing articles on the topic, not surprisingly of time management.

Now as someone pointed out, it may because we're halfway through the year, summer holidays are coming up. People may be more aware of the passing of time, as they try to fit everything in to the time remaining before they go away or they realise there's less than six months until the end of the year.

So what are my top tips for getting the most out of the remaining year?

• Write down what you want to achieve in the next six months. How much, how many and when?

• Spend time planning each and every day and make sure what you're doing fits your plan.

• Set aside time in your life for the important things - not just work.

• Schedule in blocks of time for the things you need to do - not just meetings and appointments but tasks too.

• Learn to say no by setting boundaries around your time and stick to these.

• Be aware of your distractions and interruptions and try to reduce them.

• Do more with less - you can't do everything, so be selective - focus on what matters.
