Mel Feller Establishes Time Management Practices You Can Use Today
Time management is defined as the way we use our time. Note the word management that means the way we manage our time. Therefore, in order to get more things done and produce the results that we want, we must learn and use time management skills. However, the basic truth is that we cannot really manage time, we can only manage ourselves and how we use time.
It is a given that we all have 24 hours in a day. Moreover, it is what we do during those hours that determines if we have managed our time well or not. In addition, regardless of whether you like it or not, time will pass whether we are productive or not. Thus the bottom line is that you can’t manage it, you can only manage yourself and choose what to do in those hours.

Eat that Frog!
Learn how to stop procrastinating high value tasks that can move your life forward. This book discusses the importance of goal setting, creative procrastination, time management and creating priority ranking for all of your tasks.
This slideshow is a comprehensive overview of Brian Tracy's book Eat That Frog! The basic premise of Eat That Frog is that we should focus on the highest payback, least-appealing task of the day FIRST, before anything else. He asserts that "your ability to select your most important task at each moment, and then to start on that task and get it done both quickly and well, will probably have more of an impact on your success than any other quality or skill you can develop!”
According to the author, an average person who masters this one technique will run circles around a genius who talks a lot and makes wonderful plans, but gets very little done. (I know somebody like this, don’t you?)
Furthermore, he says that "The ability to concentrate on this one important task, single-mindedly, to do it well, and to finish it completely is the key to great success, achievement, status and happiness in life.”

Time management refers to effectively managing one's time to prioritize activities based on their importance. It allows individuals to allocate specific time slots to different tasks. Effective time management is important because it helps people prioritize their work, get more done in less time, produce higher quality work, and stay on track to achieve goals. While time management is challenging, developing one's own system through planning, creating to-do lists, prioritizing tasks, avoiding time wasters, effective delegation, and paying attention to detail can help optimize the use of limited time.
Managing your time can save you time. That sounds like a neat and catchy phrase, but is it really true? Yes, it is. Unfortunately, many individuals look at good time management as nothing more than a useful skill. Yes, it is, but it can be so much more.

You will love the feeling of having something that is all yours - a home where your own personal style will tell the world who you are. A thriving vegetable garden in the backyard, a tiled entryway, a yellow kitchen... when you own, you can do it all your way! However, there is more to owning a home than personal satisfaction. You can deduct the cost of your mortgage loan interest from your federal income taxes, and usually from your state taxes, too. And interest will compose nearly all of your monthly payment, for over half the number of years you'll be paying your mortgage. This adds up to hefty savings at the end of each year. Moreover, you are allowed to deduct the property taxes you pay as a homeowner. If you rent, you write your monthly check and it is gone forever. Another financial plus in owning a home is the possibility its value will go up through the years.

It is as important to know what word of mouth marketing IS as what it IS NOT. Word-of-Mouth (W-O-M) is about involving, educating and satisfying customers. It is not about abandoning your marketing plan and advertising campaign. It is not enough to simply provide good customer service and wait for the buzz to build. In fact, let us test your knowledge of W-O-M with this simple quiz. Select the most suitable answer to the following questions. Answers are at the end of the handout/article.

How to increase your business profits by mel fellerMel Feller
How to Increase Your Business Profits by Mel Feller, MPA, MHR
There are two ways to increase your profits. One is by increasing your sales; the other is by reducing your costs. Here are some ideas that will help you increase your profits by cutting your expenses in an organized fashion.
Increasing profits through cost reduction must be based on the concept of an organized, planned program. Unless adequate records are maintained through a proper accounting system, there can be no basis for ascertaining and analyzing costs.
Cost reduction is not simply attempting to slash all expenses unmethodically. The owner-manager must understand the nature of expenses and how expenses inter-relate with sales, inventories, cost of goods sold, gross profits, and net profits.
Success Sabotaging Lies
By Mel Feller, MPA, MHR Offices in Texas and Utah
Let me start by asking a couple of questions, what beliefs do you have about success and personal excellence? What programs do you have downloaded in the massive computer that is known as your brain? Are they a plus in your pursuit for self-help motivation and personal growth development? On the other hand, are they holding you back and controlling what you will be able to achieve?
We have heard the opposite of the terms I have listed. Replace the opposite thoughts of these with these success belief builders. I wanted to point out the positive and not the negative.
There Is No Such Thing as Failure
The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed. Lloyd Jones
Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, “I have failed three times,” and what happens when he says, “I am a failure.” ~S.I. Hayakawa
There is a man who failed in business at age 21.
He was defeated in a legislative race at age 22.
He failed again in business at age 24.
He overcame the death of his girlfriend at age 26.
He had a nervous breakdown at age 27.
He lost a congressional race at age 34.
He lost a congressional race at age 36.
He lost a senatorial race at age 45.
He failed in an effort to become vice-president at age 47.
He lost a senatorial race at age 49.
He was elected president of the United States at age 52.
The man’s name was Abraham Lincoln.
He would not have accomplished becoming president if he had believed that failure was something to avoid. Thomas Edison thought the same way about failure when going through his 9,999 attempts to invent the light bulb.

Build a Successful Financial Plan
By Mel Feller, MPA, MHR
Mel Feller Seminars, Coaching For Success 360 Inc. /Mel Feller Coaching
Financial planning is defining your goals in life and realizing that the only way to provide for them is through disciplined spending, regular saving, and wise investing. It isn’t a blueprint for life that once drawn never changes. It is flexible and adaptable to your changing needs. Moreover, best of all, you can accomplish it at any income level.
A sound financial plan includes both short- and long-term goals. It starts with the realization that, in the early and even middle years of life, you must develop the habit of saving. Only by living below your means can you build a fortress of savings to pay for the important things that lie ahead.
Successfully Reducing Insurance Costs
By Mel Feller, MPA, MHR
Mel Feller Seminars, Coaching For Success 360 Inc. /Mel Feller Coaching
Have you looked at your insurance costs lately? Chances are, your costs have gone up even if your coverage has remained the same. Insurance inflation is a hidden danger because you do not always pay those bills every month or pay them directly. In addition, when they do rise, there seems to be no practical way to control them. Let’s look at some major insurance categories to see where cost-cutting might be possible.
Return Balance To Your Life
By Mel Feller, MPA, MHR
Mel Feller Seminars, Coaching For Success 360 Inc. /Mel Feller Coaching
In order to return balance to your life, remove the excuses from your life.
Attitude is more important than intelligence. The reasons why you can do anything must replace the reasons why you can`t. Find ways to win not to lose. Winning attitude that were once very easy may become more difficult with age.
Looking at a 1031 Exchange
By Mel Feller, MPA, MHR
Mel Feller Seminars, Coaching For Success 360 Inc. /Mel Feller Coaching
Let’s look at 1031 tax deferred exchanges. Named after the IRS tax code that permits such transactions, 1031 exchanges allow investors to defer paying taxes on property they buy and sell as long as the transactions occur within a 180-day time span and the funds are placed with an exchange facilitator or accommodator. I cannot stress enough the importance of working with a ‘qualified’ qualified intermediary, or QI. While knowledge, experience and a certain level of coverage or fidelity coverage is significant, the financial backing of the company, strict adherence to financial reporting and disclosure requirements hold even more importance.

Napoleon Hill, in his great book, Think & Grow Rich, describes the six steps to turn your “desires into gold.”
First: Determine exactly how much money you want to accumulate.
Second: Determine exactly what you will do to get this money.
Third: Establish the date by which you will do this.
Fourth: Create a definite plan to accumulate this money.
Fifth: Write out a clear, concise goal statement.
Sixth: Keep your goal statement at the top of your mind.
Mel feller looks at how real estate agents should treat their clientsMel Feller
Mel Feller Looks at How Real Estate Agents Should Treat Their Clients
Please note that this article comes from the heart. It is heartfelt because I had been a top producing real estate agent for twenty years. I know what it takes to keep buyers and sellers happy and still as a real estate investor, I handle a lot of my buying and selling myself even though I do not have a real estate license today. I am deeply involved in training several high producing real estate agents today. So my knowledge of the real estate field spans over 45 years. No matter who your customer is, in any business, they turn into repeat customers down the road or not, depending on the way you choose to treat them!
Real Estate Agents who treat buyers with disdain would do well to remember that those buyers would become sellers one day. In addition, they will remember those agents who treated them well when they were initially looking to purchase. If you happen to be the Buyer’s Agent always, treat them with the highest respect, just the way you would like to be treated. I can promise you that no real estate agent will admit to treating people badly, but I do see and hear about it all the time.

” Passion for your work, a pervasive commitment to quality, and relentless attention to details are essential markers of excellence. Quality work and an appreciation for the importance of details benefit not just the clients a business serves; these attitudes and habits also bring joy and peace of mind to the person who delivers the work.

Sales can be a tough career.
We face rejection daily, doing most of our presenting in unfamiliar territory. We know that we are only as good as our last order, meaning that if we don’t sell, we don’t eat. In addition, like every other ‘civilian’ we have bills to pay. On days without results most days for many, it can be extremely stressful.
Mel feller looks at building a winning teamMel Feller
The document discusses building a winning real estate team. It notes that while agency leaders may have been good salespeople, their focus should shift to finding and developing new people. Making a few sales oneself each month limits growth, but training salespeople can earn the agency much more over time. The key is for leaders to understand their strengths and weaknesses, and build a team that complements them.

Mel Feller Gives You a Home Loan Glossary
Home Loan Glossary
Adjustable-rate loans, also known as variable-rate loans, usually offer a lower initial interest rate than fixed-rate loans. The interest rate fluctuates over the life of the loan based on market conditions, but the loan agreement generally sets maximum and minimum rates. When interest rates rise, generally so do your loan payments; and when interest rates fall, your monthly payments may be lowered.
Mel Feller and Why I am a business and Executive Coach
I started coaching in the early eighties. It was during that time that I began working with Carleton Sheets, author of the bestselling Real Estate Courses No Money Down Real Estate and founder of one of the longest coaching programs in history.
Carleton’s approach was not teaching or therapy. It was a broadly applicable system for helping individuals “create real estate wealth.” Based on recognizing deep patterns that prevent long-term success, and skills for creating new patterns that produce “results that truly matter,” Carleton’s techniques helped me successfully coach clients as diverse as single mom’s on welfare to aspiring professionals, entrepreneurs and Fortune 500 Executives.
Mel Feller Discusses PR Techniques
One of the least understood, most underutilized marketing techniques in the business world is public relations. That fact represents an opportunity for small business owners and managers who are willing to devote a little time to cultivating relationships with reporters and editors in their community.
Advertising is the obvious approach to self-promotion, so a lot of your competition is doing it. Generating free or inexpensive publicity through press releases and media relations is not as commonplace, so it offers a much more uncluttered arena for gaining visibility and name recognition. The 'cost of admission' consists of a newsworthy story and a little insight into how the process works.

Mel feller establishes time management practices you can use today
1. Mel FellerEstablishesTime ManagementPractices YouCan Use Today
Time managementisdefined asthe waywe use our time. Note the wordmanagementthatmeansthe
waywe manage ourtime. Therefore,inordertogetmore thingsdone andproduce the resultsthatwe
want,we must learnanduse time managementskills.However,the basictruthisthat we cannot really
manage time,we can onlymanage ourselvesandhow we use time.
It isa giventhatwe all have 24 hours ina day. Moreover,itiswhat we doduringthose hoursthat
determinesif we have managedourtime well ornot.Inaddition,regardlessof whetheryoulike itor
not,time will passwhetherwe are productive ornot.Thusthe bottomline isthat youcan’t manage it,
youcan onlymanage yourself andchoose whattodo inthose hours.
Time managementisreallyaboutgettingthe rightthings done inthe shortestamountof time.Youwant
to be efficientandeffective. Youwantto get the mostresultsinthe shortestperiodanditall starts with
your habits.
In otherwords,we knowthat fromthe time youwake up to the time youeat yourmealsandthe time
youwork,a large part of what youdo are habits. Therefore,if youwanttomanage yourtime,youmust
learnto manage yourself,andif youwantto manage yourself,youneedtolearntomanage your habits.
By changinghabits,we change the use of the waywe manage time.
In thisarticle,Iwant togive you some time managementhabitsyoushouldconsider implementingin
your life.
Clear purpose
One of the bestpersonal productivitytipsthatIhave learnedwasfromBrianTracy, the author of the
best-sellingtime managementbook,EatThat Frog. That tipwas that if youwant to be productive,you
mustunderstandyourpurpose. Therefore,the bottomline isthatyourpurpose mustbe clearinorder
to be productive.
Here is whatBrian Tracy says inhisbook: “The numberone reasonwhysome people getmore work
done fasteristhat theyare absolutelyclearabouttheirgoalsandobjectives,andtheydon’tdeviate
fromthem.
2. The greaterclarityyou have regardingwhatyouwant andthe stepsyouwill have totake to achieve it,
the easieritwill be foryouto overcome procrastination,eatyourfrog,andcomplete the taskbefore
you.”
Tracy is correct. There isabsolutelynopointtotalkaboutshootingthe arrowsuntil firstidentifyingyour
target. Youmust be clear andunderstandyourobjective.Whatdoyou wantto accomplishandwhat
kindof resultsyouare lookingfor? Whenyouare clearwithyourpurpose andgoals,youcan then
create a planinorderto get there.
Thisis the fundamental principle of personal productivity.If youwanttomanage time,youmustfirst
identifyyourobjectives. Therefore,the bigquestionforall of usis withoutknowingyourdestination,
howcan yougetthere?
I rememberclearlythatTonyRobbinssaysin one of hisspeeches,“Clarity ispower”. Therefore,if you
wantto get more the most resultoutof your day,first,be clear.
Mel Feller’sTip: Productive people alwayskeeptheirtargetsintheirmind andwritten.Theyknow
exactlywhatkindof result they desire andthentheysetoutto achieve them.Youmustdothe same.
Make ityour habit,as well,toalwayskeepyourgoalsandobjectivesinyourmindandwrittendown
somewhere. Thenconstantlyremindyourself of whatyouwantto accomplishsothat youwill never
deviate fromthatcourse.By doingthatyou will thenflylikeanarrow,straightto the bull’seye and
meetyourobjectives.
Remove all possible distractions
Anotherissue thatinterfereswithouruse of time managementisthatmustneverunderestimate the
powerof distractions.Manypeople thoughtthatdistractions were smallissuesand assuch, they do not
reallylearntohandle these therebyallowingthemtobecome large distractions.
Accordingto thisarticle onThe WashingtonPost,Irvine, aresearcherfromthe Universityof California
foundthat a typical office worker becomesdistracted orswitchedtasks every3minutesand5 seconds
on average. The more astonishingdiscoverywasthatit couldtake up to 23 minutesof those 15 seconds
indistractions justtoget back to where they hadleftoff.
3. Whenyoudevelopthe habitof eliminatingdistraction,itis reallyadouble-win.Thisisbecause when
youare not distracted,youare able to focusbetter. Itis like the push-and-pull effectinthatyou cannot
focuswhenyouare distracted. However, whenyouare able to eliminate distractions,notonly will you
be able to work industriously,butyouare alsoable to focuson the task.
Hence,neverallowyourself togetdistractedwhenyouwork,especiallyontasksthat have been
deemedimportant.
Mel Feller’sTip: Developthe habitof workingwithoutdistractionsorinterruptions.Builda distraction
free roomfor yourself if needbe.Lockyourself inyourroomor weara pairof headphonesinorderto
stay awayfrom the noise.
Neverletpeopledistractyouwhile youare working.I certainlydonot like tobe distractedwhen Iam
writing. Infact, bothof my phone linesare placedondonot disturbandmy cell phone issilenced.
One task at a time
How doyou eatan elephant?One bite ata time. We all have heardthis one before. Thisis a sayingthat
easy to understand,butwe oftentendtooverlook thisprinciple of focusingonlyonone taskat a time. I
readthe book,The One Thing, and learned thatmulti-taskingisone of the mostcommonkillersof
productivity.
Whenwe try to get a fewthingsdone at the same time,whatreallyhappens isthatourmindis
switchingfromone taskto another,backand forth. In otherwords,our brainsare notwiredto be
multitasking.Ourbrainsare wiredto concentrate on one thingat a time.
If you findthisdifficult tobelieve,justtryto reada book andtalk to someone atthe same time.Youwill
findthatyou cannotdo both tasks,readingandtalking, atthe same time. When youtalkto someone,
youwill putdownthe bookand stop reading. Moreover, whenyouread,youwill stoptalkingtothat
person. Thisisbecause our brainscan onlyfocusand processone informationatatime.
The keyword here isfocus.Whenyoufullyfocusonone thing,youwill needtoletgoof otherthings.
4. Thisis whatan article fromHarvard BusinessReview said: “Basedonovera half-centuryof cognitive
science andmore recentstudiesonmultitasking,we know thatmultitaskersdolessandmiss
information.Ittakestime (anaverage of 15 minutes) tore-orienttoaprimarytask aftera distraction
such as an email. Efficiencycandropby as muchas 40%. Long-termmemorysuffersandcreativity — a
skill associatedwithkeepinginmindmultiple,less common,associations — isreduced.” So, doyou now
thinkyoushouldstopmulti-taskingandstartdoingjustone thingat a time now? I know for me.After
readingthis,Ihave thoughttwice andstoppedtryingto multitask.
Mel Feller’sTip: The nexttime youfinditdifficulttofocusor that, youwantto be more productive and
performbetter, donotmulti-task.Choosetosingle-task.Doone thingata time.
Avoid Procrastination
Anotherpowerful timemanagementhabitthatIbelieve everyone of usshouldadoptisthe abilityto
avoidprocrastination. Procrastinationisone of the biggestkillersof ourdreamsandgoals.People have
an ideaof what theywantto achieve intheirlives,buttheyjust donot doit.
Many people saythattheywant to buildasuccessful onlinebusiness,butall theydoistalkabout it.
They do not doanythingaboutit. If that was notenough,after theygetback home fromwork,all they
do iswatch TV andsurf the internetforfunandentertainment.Theydonothingtostart or grow their
business. Youhave tounderstandthatsuccessisnot about saying,itisaboutdoing and takingaction.
The same goesfortime management. Donotjustsay that youwant to getthingsdone.Youneedtodo
it inorderto get the resultsyouwant.
There are manyreasonsthat cause people toprocrastinate.Some people donotwanttotake action
because theyare overwhelmedwithinformationandthey justdonotknow where tostart. Other
people procrastinate because theyare afraidof failure. Therefore, if youwanttoovercome
procrastination,youmustidentifythe rootcausesof it.
Mel Feller’sTip: Make ita habitto start andto begin youractionitems.Do notprocrastinate andput
thingsoff until alatertime.Once youhave decidedtodo it, youneedto justdo it.
Schedulingand deadlines
5. Didyou knowthat schedulingyourwork couldgreatlyincrease the chancesof yougettingitdone?
The reasonbeingthat people procrastinatebecause theyare unclearof whenandwhere theirwork
shouldtake place. Inotherwords,whenyouspecificallyscheduleyourtask,suchas, “I’mgoingto run
for an hourfrom 7AMto 8AM, everyMondayand Thursday”,youare givingyour minda clearmissionof
whatyou needtodo, where,andbywhen itmustbe completed. Inaddition, whenthe time comes to
getit done,youwill followthroughanddoit.
People oftenfailtobe productive whentheyleave theirworkto“whenever”.Theywaitforthe right
time to act and theywaitfora time whentheyfeel righttowork onthings. Believeme;this isnotgoing
to work.Instead,youmustbe specificand determineaschedule forwhatyouwantto be done and by
whenitneedstobe completed.
In herbest-sellingbook,BetterThanBefore,GretchenRubinwrites,“Schedulingmakesusfarmore
likelytoconvertan activityintoa habit.” Whenyouschedule atask, first,yougive aclear orderto your
mindof whenand where youshoulddothe task. Second,ithelpsremindyouof the taskwhenthe time
comesto complete yourtask. Havinga schedule islike creatinga remindertodo the workyou have
planned.
Mel Feller’sTip: A good time managementhabitistoschedule the workyouwantto complete.Be
specificandwrite downwhen,where,andwhatyouwantto do.
Thisis whyplanningworks. Planningturnseveryone of yourimportanttasksintoschedules.Make
appointmentswithyourtaskssothatyou will nevermissthem.Ilike thisquotefromLarryWingetin
regardsto scheduling: “Nobodyeverwrote downaplanto be broke,fat,lazy,or stupid.Those things
are whathappenwhenyoudon’thave a plan.”
Complete highimpact tasks first
Do youwant to be effective and togetthe mostresults? Well,sticktothe principle of gettingthe high-
impactwork done first. Whenitcomesto time management,manypeople thoughtthatbeing
productive isaboutgettingmore thingsdone,butitreallyisnot. It isaboutdoingthe high-impactwork
to getthe more results.
6. Do not mistake beingbusyforbeingproductive.Youcanbe busythe whole day,butat the endof the
day,you do notproduce results. Inotherwords,what you wantis to workon the mostimportantwork
that will give youthe mostresults. Notjustanywork,butthe high-impactwork.
Thisis where youhave tounderstandthatnot all worksare createdequal. Inaddition, youhave to
underthe Pareto’s80/20 Rule. The rule statesthat out of all the thingsthatyou do,20% of the work
will accountfor80% of yourresults.Thus,the keytobecomingmore productive istofocusyourtime
and act on the 20% work.
Remember,we all have 24hours a day. There isjustso much time we can use ina day. However, the key
isto get the most result-producingworkdone and thatdoes not meanjustany work. Beingbusy does
not meanthat youare beingproductive.Youwanttobe busygettingthe RIGHT thingsdone.
Mel Feller’sTip: Make the Pareto’sPrincipleyourwayof life.Identifythe high-impactworkthatyou
can do and getit done firstthinginthe morningbefore youswitchtootherlessimportanttasks.
Write it down
RichardBranson creditedhissuccesstohisto-dolist.He isknownfor hishabitof writingthingsdown in
hisdiary or businessjournal.He carrieshisbusinessjournal everywhere he goes.
One of the waysto not lettime slipsusbyisto remindourselvesof whatwe needto do. You can
accomplish thisbywritingdownyourtasks,yourideas,orwhateverthatcomesto you,as Branson does.
Here is whatRichardBranson wrote inhisblogpost: “I’ve oftenwrittenaboutmylove of writinglists –
and thisone showsI’ve beenatitsince the verybeginning.Listsnotonlyprovide agreatstructure for
gettingthingsdone,buttheyalsohelpustoset goalsandachieve ourdreams.”
He iscorrect. I write downeverythingthatIwant to be done inmy businessjournal aswell.Iuse my
journal formy to-dolistas well asmythoughts. I reallystartedthisinfull force asI was goingthrougha
verybitterandNASTY divorce beginningin2017 lastingalmostayear. Since thattime, Idiscoveredthat
whenI putthingsdown on paperand takingthemwithme everywhere,Igo my chancesof gettingthem
done wouldbe higher.
7. I alsoleave mybusinessjournal onmydeskandI leave itopen.Now everytime Ilookatit,it reminds
me of whatI needto get accomplished.Italsoremindsme of mygoalsanddreams;and what I am doing
to accomplishthem.
Time managementisaboutdoingthe rightthingsandproducingthe rightresults.Thus, writingdown
whatyou needto accomplishreally helps inboththe shortandlongterm.
Mel FellerTip: Make ityour habitto write thingsdown.AlbertEinsteinonce said,“Paperistowrite
thingsdownthat we needtoremember.Ourbrainsare usedto think.”Somake it a habitto jotthings
done.Itcan boostyourproductivity.
Bottomline isthat if youwant to developgoodtime managementhabits,youshouldseriouslyconsider
the tipsthat I have sharedwithyouabove. Remember,time managementisreallyabouthow you
manage yourself. Beingproductive meansgettingthe mostresult-yieldingtasksdone inthe shortest
periodpossible.
