The document discusses how the first step to improving time management is acknowledging personal mistakes and flaws like getting distracted easily, lacking focus, failing to prioritize tasks, and being disorganized. Accepting these issues is necessary to identify solutions, such as using an electronic organizer to help manage schedules and tasks more effectively.

1. Planning to Manage Your
Time?
Come Out of Denial First

2. In most people, the problems related to time are
simply due to the fact that they do not accept their
own mistakes.
Look into yourself.
Maybe the reason why you could not meet that
last deadline was because you did something
wrong, or because you have a habit that is
destructive to your time management.

3. In most cases, just accepting such
problems and resolving to eliminate
them is what is need to make more
optimal use of time.

4. Think about it. Maybe you have a habit
of getting distracted easily.
You lack the concentration in what you
do. You start doing something, and
then something else comes up and
you are diverted there.

5. Or, maybe, you do not know how to
set your priorities. You waste time
doing things that are not so very
important.
You lose focus easily.

6. It may also be that you are disorganized.
You do not take care of your work desk.
You forget things. You forget dates.
Perhaps you need something like an
electronic organizer application on your
cell phone or computer to help you
through.
(try Evernote)

7. These are the habits that you have to
think about.
When you come out of denial and
accept that you have these habits, you
will be able to see the solution as well.
