      Time Control: How to Stop Time Destroyers, Eliminate Procrastination, Create an Effective Schedule and Reclaim Your Life by Justin Byers This small wonder is truly amazing. For a little fella it definitely delivered an intense punch in the posterior. Especially since procrastination and time management is a huge issue for me. I learned so much about why I put off my goals and great exercises and suggestions to moving forward. I was able to get some of my goals written down and I found when I do a daily list it helped a lot, also to do a step by step plan made a difference also. I would suggest my wee buddy to anyone looking for real help with getting out of a rut and moving on. Thanks Justin, you rock.Love & Light,Riki Frahmann

      I read Time Control, in exchange for honest review from Empowerment Nation. The book was written by Justin Byers and published by Empowerment Nation. First, the first sentence kind of irritated the grad student in me. I wanted to edit the sentence APA style (it, there, that). The second sentence is a little lengthy, which can lead to confusion. Other than that, people are drained by work, kids, and finding time for self. People also want to improve productivity and accomplish dreams, but first, we need to identify goals, schedule time to complete goals, and make a commitment to achieve goals. Goals also require a change. We have to identify goals, in addition to monitoring and identifying progress. We also have to find time to work on and complete goals. We also need to be honest with self, when accomplishing goals. Next, we need to identify why we want to accomplish each goal. Specify each goal, with details. For example, the book discussed finding a new home versus finding a better living situation. Next, the book discussed time destroyers. Some of mine included procrastination, pessimism, and not having a plan to tackle large tasks. I need to break goals into smaller tasks, schedule time to complete tasks, and focus on one task at a time. I am also subject to time distortion, or over estimating time needed to complete a task. I also rush into tasks without thinking. Finally, the book provides tips for being more productive. The tips include: Plan and schedule all tasks, including small, moderate, and large. Track daily activities to determine time wasters. Identify distractions (television, websites, online gaming, etc). Group and double up tasksset aside time blocks to workuse a friend as an accountability partnerreward self for achieving goalsset aside a dedicated work spacedon't let failures get to youAttempt tasks, even if you do a bad joblimit negative emotions. remind self of past successesget sleep and rest.

    Time Control - Justin Byers

    Introduction

    It is almost a truism to rue that there are not enough hours in any given day. Each of us is constantly beset by a range of seemingly conflicting impulses and desires. If we work full days, the challenge to infuse the remaining handful of moments we haven’t already committed to our livelihoods is a daunting one, to say nothing of whether or not we must spend time with our family.

    How do we stay healthy, active and manage to constantly enrich our personal lives and provide for ourselves and loved ones simultaneously? It seems under this admittedly intense pressure, something simply must give. If children need to be at school by seven, and work starts at nine, there seems no hope of increasing our own personal productivity—especially when we are completely drained of resources by the end of the day. How many of us come home, for example, and feel exhilarated at the opportunity to come home from a day at work in order to clean and organize a garage, or perhaps manage a number of correspondences that have managed to pile up after a few days?

    This is no small challenge for any of us. It’s not that there are winners and losers in life. It’s not that certain people just have a magical ability to accomplish whatever they set out to do. Everything worth doing and achieving in life takes courage, dedication, patience, and a positive attitude. That being said, there are ways to learn how to become more productive in your life. No one is born inherently knowing how to accomplish their largest dreams. Certainly a person here or there will figure it out on their own—these are the big successes we aspire to be—and it’s possible, with a little mental adjustment and motivation, to embark on that journey. Increasing your personal productivity requires you to plan with precision, learn with purpose toward your goals, and accept temporary setbacks with grace and a playful attitude.

    Very few people on this earth manage to go to sleep at night having accomplished everything they set out to do. If they have, it’s a good bet they haven’t aspired to complete much to begin with. Do yourself a favor now and try to remember the last time you went to bed satisfied that you’d accomplished a sizeable fraction of what you’d set out to on a given day. It may take a few moments, but try to remember a day when things went well, and perhaps only a minor task or two fell through the cracks of our best intentions.

    Now consider your days in general. What is different about the day-to-day affairs of your life, and those that really shine in your mind as successes? Was it luck? Did everything just fall into place without a single hitch? Were you driven by some desire to accomplish your tasks on the better day, while remaining generally uninspired on others? Perhaps, knowing the next day would be filled to the brim with daunting chores, you made a mental schedule of everything that would happen, and stuck to it the next day.

    It is possible, with practice and patience, to manage day to day tasks with consistently higher levels of success, given the right understanding both of what happens when we are doing things right and what happens when we are not quite so task-oriented as we ought to be.

    The purpose of this book is to give the reader a brief but solid foundation for harnessing a wide range of knowledge and practices that can help one save substantial amounts of time throughout the day. This time adds up to minutes every hour, hours every day. One practicing the tips presented below can reasonably expect to experience an abundant increase in productivity, and will even find, in less time than one can imagine, that these positive changes beget themselves in a self-encouraging fashion.

    Ending the day positively and successfully is a wonderful feeling, and will promote the same attitude and sense of direction in the next day, and the next, and so on. After all, how appealing does it sound to you, the reader, to begin every day with a set plan of action, a method for avoiding hang-ups along the way, and an overall sense of how one day’s productivity will enhance the next? The amount of time saved in a given day can invariably be used in turn to enrich the quality of your life and the lives of your loved ones.

    This book is roughly divided into two sections. The first section is devoted to identifying our goals and fostering a productive schedule by eliminating unnecessary wastes of time and energy. You will need all you can get of both, and as you’ll see shortly, there are ways to free up hours, minutes, and even seconds of your day to harness towards personal productivity. The second section focuses on ways of motivating and energizing yourself in the most productive ways possible. Subjects are loosely grouped together so that related topics will be covered one after the other, in order to provide you with a more intuitive understanding of the points being made.

    Increasing your personal productivity represents a commitment, and the more you want out of life, the more you’ll simply have to commit to this change. All the tips, insights and suggestions in this book won’t do a person any good if he or she is unwilling to follow through with making real changes to his or her life. Much of the advice is practical and represents a wealth of knowledge that simply gets overlooked or forgotten in the day-to-day bustle.

    A good example of something about productivity that we may not even know we know: we begin most new and engaging tasks with a burst of enthusiasm
