Spending Time Constructively

Last weeks topic on feelings is a nice set-up for this weeks topic on spending time constructively. We as humans spend all of our time doing. We are always doing something and if we have even a moment of calm we spend our time thinking about what to DO next!

Instead of always feeling the need to do something, how about spending all of our time just being. Be the person that reaches his or her goals and is living an abundant lifestyle. Then do what they do.

Concentrate on the tasks that are truly important and are going to lead you towards the attainment of your goals. Focus on the 20% of tasks that are going to lead to 80% of your results. Do not waste time on the tasks that produce the opposite effect (80% of tasks that lead to 20% of the results).

This really is a vitally important concept to understand. So many people procrastinate and put off the important tasks and fill their days with activities that produce little or no significant result.

By focusing on the important 20% of tasks you will be so much more efficient in your days that you will find you actually have a lot of time left over. You will feel fulfilled knowing you did everything you could to produce the result you are after and you will also notice that circumstances start to align themselves with what you have deemed important and begin to line up the people, places, and events that will allow you to stay focused on these tasks.

Be the leader. Be the person that attains their goals. Be the person that spends their time constructively. This is just one more example of how to live life on purpose.
