Getting Rid of the Clutter

Much of our day is spent in answering and sending emails, telephone calls, attending meetings, doing paperwork, or just driving. In short, most of our day is spent doing administrative work.

What’s more is that most of this “work” is stuff that is time consuming and takes us away from more important tasks at hand. Imagine for one second that you didn’t have to do any of the above—that you could choose for yourself what to do with your time each day.

How would you spend your working hours? What would you choose to do? You can now dedicate your time to what you truly love to do to what makes you feel good. Isn’t this ideal? It is. Perhaps for some who have little control over their work this is a far-fetched dream which might not be possible in the near future. For others who are in higher management positions and get weighed down by all the little monotonous daily tasks then trying to obtain this ideal is something you should strive for.

How do you get there? Outsource your work to assistants and other employees who can take phone calls, respond to emails, and do your paperwork. The solution is to simplify as much as possible. You must eliminate tasks which are not necessary and can actually create havoc and stress because of their daily multitude. Then sit down and think about what you really want to do and do it every day. Part of the key to success is habit.

Woody Allen once said, “Eighty percent of success is showing up.” So find out what makes you tick, simplify your life, and do it religiously each day. Even for those of us who may not yet have the ability to dedicate their day to what they’d really like to do, you can still prioritize and simplify in order to create a long-term plan which might get you to where you’d like to be in the future.
