Time Management

I recently just took a quiz on MindTools.com called "How Good Is Your Time Management?" Time management plays a huge role when you first enter college and especially when you get into the work place. You need to be able to balance all your work so you are able to get it all complete by the date it is due. For me personally I know I tend to have a tough time with this so I took this little quiz to see if my results were accurate with my thoughts.

 Results: 40, You're good at some things, but there's room for improvement elsewhere.

 I believe for the most part that this is correct. Some days I tend to be good at time management and I get a head start on work to get it done early. This is a huge stress reliever and I do not panic later on. Other times I am not so good at time management and I am backed up doing other work as well in order to get everything done in time. This was a fun little quiz and everyone should see how well their time management is!

    I was talking with a former colleague who is now the dean of my old school about her new job, and she said the most difficult thing for her is managing her time. She has so many subordinate organizations, some of which are in different states, that it's difficult to find time to think. She just runs from meeting to meeting and answers e-mail in between. So it doesn't get easier!

    I always wonder how accurate these quizzes are- I know in the past I've felt differently about some of the results that I received.

    Time management is a skill that I know I didn't really understand until college and I'm still working on mastering it, but it can make a world of difference in your ability to live without mountains of stress.

How to succeed? Get more sleep | Arianna Huffington

Image
I found another great TED Talk, this time by Arianna Huffington, where she simply talks about how sleep I such an important aspect of being a leader. I know this subject may seem a little corny, but the fact is we simply don't get enough sleep and it truly impacts our lives. Some college students are staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning and then waking up at 8 for class and then go about their days why no energy or will to learn. Arianna learned this the hard way for herself when one day after not getting enough sleep she fainted and hit her head because of sleep deprivation. Arianna believes that just because someone has a high IQ does not make you a great leader. A great leader is someone who can see the iceberg before it hits the Titanic. In other words someone who gets more sleep than someone else will enjoy life better and be more aware, become a better leader and succeed in their careers.

SMART Goals

Have you have tried to do something for years but failed because you're not getting anywhere or you have no purpose? Well it might be because you haven't set any goals for yourself. Many people jump from task to task because its either taken them too long to accomplish or because they haven't seen any progress. If you feel this way you need to set yourself a SMART goal. A SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely. SMART goals are a great way to know exactly what to do to accomplish the goal, with no questions asked. First, you start with a specific goal in mind. You want it to be specific so it motivates you. You need to figure the who, what, when, where, and why of this specific goal. Next, measurable, pick something you'll be able to track so you can physically see your own progress and keep focused. Then comes attainable. Don't pick something so far out of this world that you physically would be able to do it, make it realisti

Secrets of success in 8 words | Richard St. John

Image
I have been lacking on posting lately but I found a short little Ted talk on success. The school year is quickly coming to an end I thought it would give some people motivation to finish up strong! Richard St. John went around for 7 years and interviewed 500 successful people from CEOs to car designers. Richard narrowed all 500 interviews down to 8 categories of success: serving, passion, work, focus, persistence, ideas, getting good at something, and pushing yourself. He shortly explains why these 8 things lead to success and I think it was super helpful. Overall it is a great short video and hope you enjoy.
