At first it was very hard to put everything down in a schedule but then I realized that if I did get everything together there would be a lot more time for me and could do those things you are talking about above. I now block my time in 1/2 hour increments which is pretty much my little toddlers attention span and I am a lot more productive. Thanks for the extra tips in this article.

There is more but that is essentially it. The trick is to isolate that 20 percent and focus on that. if anyone is interested I am willing to go further.

Folks are always complaining that they don't have enough time but only you know what your habits and where you might not use your time so wisely. Life is short. One point, while you do want to increase your productivity, it's not wasting time to take time for yourself to rejuvenate and decompress. It may be watching tv or playing a video game or playing golf. Whatever it is, know that that's the point of the exercise and it has an beginning and an end. If you're vegging out for hours in front of the tv, you're really not "relaxing" anymore. Taking productive time for yourself makes your work time that much more productive. And taking time for yourself provides insurance for a healthier lifestyle and outlook. This in turn leads to a more productive life. Jerry www.leads4insurance.com Great advice.

I've found that not sleeping in on days off and getting up when I would for work has created a lot of extra time to invest in my self. I can get a lot done on Saturday and Sunday Mornings when I would otherwise be in bed, and this way my sleep schedule is a lot more consistent. Definitely some good advice here….

I especially agree with the first point of using driving time to learn. Back when I was in college, I would record lectures on to a digital recorder and then burn them to CDs. I'd drive around in my car all week listening back to my lectures to study for the exams. It worked wonders. You'd be amazed at how much you retain from listening back to that stuff even when you don't think you're paying much attention. Now I just listen to audio books. I've listened to the E-Myth 3 times now. I've also listened to The Millionaire Next Door and Good to Great. It's a great use of that driving time. This is some great advice.
