The Need to Be Selective -Brian Tracy This is a wonderful time to be alive. There have never been more possibilities and opportunities for you to become action oriented and achieve more of your goals than ever. In fact, there are so many good things that you can do that your time management skills and ability to decide among them maybe the critical determinant of what you accomplish in life. If you are like most people today, you are overwhelmed with too much to do and too little time. As you struggle to get caught up, new tasks and responsibilities just keep rolling in, like the waves of the ocean. Because of this, you will never be able to do everything you have to do. You will never be caught up. You will always be behind in some of your tasks and responsibilities, and probably in many of them. The Need to Be Selective Time management is essential to developing good habits for success. Your ability to select your most important task at each moment, get started on that task and to 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. An average person who develops the habit of being action oriented and getting important tasks completed quickly will run circles around a genius who talks a lot and makes wonderful plans but who gets very little done. Develop Good Habits of Success and Become Action Oriented Your success in life and work will be determined by the kinds of habits that you develop over time. The habit of setting priorities, overcoming procrastination, being action oriented and getting on with your most important task is a mental and physical skill. As such, this habit is learnable through practice and repetition, over and over again, until it locks into your subconscious mind and becomes a permanent part of your behavior. Once it becomes a habit, it becomes both automatic and easy to do. Through time management the habit of and starting and completing important tasks has immediate and continuous payoff. You are designed mentally and emotionally in such a way that task completion gives you a positive feeling. It makes you happy. It makes you feel like a winner. You have a virtually unlimited ability to learn and develop new skills, habits and abilities. When you train yourself, through repetition and practice, to overcome procrastination and get your most important tasks completed quickly, you will move yourself onto the fast track in your life and career and step on the accelerator. Do you visualize your future self?
