Event Management at Active Mobility Center

Sitting here looking at the date of December 1st, 2013, I am scratching my head wondering where this year has went.  Reflecting over the last 11 months, one of the best changes we have made is managing tasks and events...and not time.

We all have the same 24 hours in a day, and some people are able to accomplish much more within these hours...why?  At Active Mobility Center we use task management instead of time management. We cannot slow down time, but we can manage our tasks better to improve our efficiency and accomplish more.

Making a Plan

Any time we want to change something, we cannot leave it to our memory, but must write it down.  We must make it a commitment and arrange our day to ensure we carve out a space to work on this.  Without a plan any goals or dreams you have cannot ever be accomplished. 

It is effective to write down what your desired destination is in five years. If your destination is too large, it make feel unattainable.  Taking that 5 year goal, and breaking it into five year pieces, you can break it down to where you need to be each year to get there, and then breaking that down to quarters of the year will make it seem attainable.

Writing It Down

Whether it is a to-do list, a 5 year plan, or 90 day goals; it needs to be written down so you can review it on a regular basis to see where you are and what you need to do next. Many people find it helpful to have a  on-going list of tasks to complete, and taking that list and picking 2-3 items each day to complete. This way each day there is a feeling of winning, instead of looking at your final destination and giving up.

Not Just about Business

These ideas can be used by anyone to improve their efficiency, and to accomplish more of what we set out to do.  Once you put this in motion, it develops into a habit and your life is changed forever.
