These methods collectively form the discipline known as time management. When you apply time management to your daily life you will reclaim vast quantities of time lost to simple mistakes and bad habits, providing you with the one thing everyone wishes they had ─ more time. This book will explore numerous techniques that will help you manage your time effectively, making you more productive and efficient as a result.

Chapter 1:  Break Bad Habits

When it comes to developing any skillset, the first thing you need to do before forming good habits is to break the bad habits. After all, it’s usually the bad habits that are keeping you from achieving the success you both desire and deserve. Therefore, by breaking them, you automatically improve your situation even before you have begun to develop any new skills or habits.

The very same thing applies to time management. While most people think that if they had more time, they would be able to get more done, the truth of the matter is that their bad habits can cause them to squander any amount of time they have. This chapter will reveal some of the costliest bad habits in terms of time management, showing how they steal valuable time from you each and every day.  By breaking these common habits, you will be able to reclaim untold amounts of time, enabling you to be infinitely more successful as a result.

Eliminate Distractions

One of the most important elements when it comes to accomplishing any task is the ability to focus. The more focused you are on something, the better your results will be. Unfortunately, in a world of digital media, cell phones, and countless other forms of distraction, it is becoming ever more difficult to remain wholly focused on any one thing at a time, regardless of how important it is. In fact, the things that appear relatively harmless can actually prove to be the costliest in terms of time wasted. This is why it is vital to eliminate distractions in your environment when it’s time to get down to business.

An excellent example of this is social media. It may seem quite innocent to pick up your phone and check your messages, media pages, or email accounts to see the latest news and gossip
