There's never enough time to do it right the first time, but there's always time to do it over again.

Why not pick one of the ideas below that most appeals to you and live it the rest of your life? What difference might it make?

Here are Thirteen suggestions on how you can have more fun AND get more done:

• In the first hour of my work day I do my largest or most intimidating task.


• Ask myself: what is the most important thing I can do right now?


• Focus on one activity at a time, and give it 100% of my attention, creativity and energy!


• Take 30 minutes at the end of the day to reflect upon the day's activities, then document what I have learned, plan for tomorrow and make one new decision!


• Speak with a friend daily.


• Find a mentor whose skills I admire and build a win-win relationship.


• Determine my purpose and outcome before making a phone call or going to a meeting.


• Create a personal statement of accountability to guide me through the day!


• Do one random act of kindness each day.


• Each day, set one tangible, measurable goal or result. Make it one that I really want and feel compelled to achieve.


• When estimating how long it takes to complete a task, I increase the time by at least 50-150%.


• Always add extra value to everything! Under promise and over deliver.


• Get clear about what I want, why I want it and ask for what I want until I get it!

One more suggestion to get control of your time: when someone asks you to do something and you're too busy, just say NO!
