"Time isn't money. Time is everything." - Dr. Bernie Siegel
Want to find a job faster?
You can, if you use your time better.
You and I each get 24 hours in a day.
How you use this precious resource largely determines your success in finding a job ... and anything else you do.
If you're unhappy with how you manage your time, why not try a different approach and manage your energy instead?
Let me explain ...
While we all get an equal amount of hours in a day, not all hours have equal value.
Some of us are morning people and perform at our peak before noon. Others are afternoon or evening people, and have more energy at those times of day.
Why not take advantage of your natural tendencies and schedule your important tasks for when you'll have the most energy?
This is like riding a horse in the direction it wants to go.
If you don't know when your hours of peak performance are, find out. Carry a small notebook or voice recorder (a smart phone has both) and record those times when you feel energized, as well as times when you feel sluggish.
Then, schedule next week's job search activities during your peak-performance times.
You will likely find that when you manage your energy effectively, the hours will take care of themselves -- you'll get more done and find work faster as a result.
Sincerely,

These are great tips!
ReplyDeleteI would add another: look at time as an investment. For each activity you'd like to take time, think before: Am I investing my time (is it in alignment with what I want to get long term)? Or am I just spending my time?
This way, you will start to notice in what activities you're using/ spending your time (for short term results), instead of investing it for your future. Time well invested will certainly bring better and more satisfying results!
