Successful Self Management

Successful Self Management

This life is not a rehearsal for anything else. Time is passing quickly, and all of your decisions and indecisions, your actions and inactions, to this point have added up to create the life you’re living at this very moment. You’ll have to take complete charge of yourself and your life. Self-management is really personal management, time management, and life management all rolled into one.
Most people make themselves into a commodity. They will define themselves in terms of their work or what they spend most of their time doing. You’ve undergone a wide variety of experiences, both positive and negative. You’ve had a remarkable education; you’ve had a formal education, and you’ve learned from the various jobs and activities you’ve engaged in. You have the skills that you’ve acquired through hard work, discipline, and practice.
This attitude or myth that most people have been brought up to accept is a major cause of unhappiness and underachievement in life.
What have I most enjoyed in my work and activities in the past?”
To manage yourself better, look at your major interests in life. An important key to self-management is strategic thinking. Self-management means getting things done through yourself. You need to organize, manage, and motivate yourself as if you were your own employee.
Productivity improvement is an essential part of self-management. Your most valuable asset is your ability to earn money. Perhaps the most important part of self-management is personal profitability. It means that you live within your means and save and invest part of everything you earn. Innovation is another important part of self-management. You are born with enormous reserves of creativity that enable you to improve every part of your life. Constantly look for faster, better, and easier ways to achieve your tasks and goals. Read, research and ask questions.
You can achieve any goal, you can overcome any difficulty, and solve any problem on the path to your goal, as long as the goal is clear. Self-management techniques can make you rich, happy, healthy, and fulfilled beyond your wildest imagination.
