Split your time in segments of 30 minutes using an alarm timer on your watch or mobile phone. Take notes of what you have done during each period. This is a process of self discovery. You will become aware and amazed as to how you are spending your time. Successful people protect their time. You must learn to protect your time (if you value it) from being wasted. With that in mind, you will be faced with distractions on a daily basis. Only you can truly value your time and how to best utilize it. Don’t expect others to do so.

They are over worked, over whelmed and feel under rewarded. This is because they put too much energy into tasks that generate little value towards their desired end result. In many instances, only 20% of your work is getting 80% of your results. This means that 80% of what you do contributes to only 20% of your results. Take a moment and really think about this point. What is your role? What do you want to achieve? What tasks brings you the most significant returns in line with your goals? Figure out what 20% of your day to day work gives you 80% of your bottom line and focus on doing just that. Only do what really matters. Successful people get the Worst out of the way The tasks that results in us being productive are the tasks you tend to put off. If you are fearful of something, or are feeling like you are putting off an important action, then you must do it first. Get it out of the way.
