Great Time Management Techniques- Why It Is Better To Manage Your Time Than Not To

My car, a sexy convertible eclipse had gotten filthy

. Not just the outside, but the inside as well. I had shaken out the mats several times over the past few weeks and now the dirt was just filling up my floorboard. There was trash everywhere and it was just disgusting. The dust on the dash and the console was thick enough to write your name in it.

This really isn't like me to drive a dirty car. I love my car and usually I wash it at least once a week. I take and rub down all the leather with armor all, and put that tire shine stuff on to make it really look great. Over the last month I have failed to wash it even one time. Today when I finally got disgusted I took it to the $15 car wash, then I spent an hour and a half vacuuming it out. I wiped down every surface, cleaned behind everything. I shook out my mats and scrubbed them clean. I worked really hard on this project.

Most of the time a simple five dollar wash is fine. That's the problem with procrastination. When we put off the things we are supposed to be doing we compound our problems. Not only did I have to suffer with driving around a dirty car, but it took me a lot more time to clean it that it would have if I had just followed my normal maintenance routine. If I had just taken care of things as they came a long I wouldn't have had to take half my morning to get it right. I was playing catch up and that has left me nothing but frustrated.

Yesterday in my blog I talked about "doing HARD things". Today the thought is more about doing the small things without putting them off. Keep this idea in mind as you go through your day. Our life just becomes more and more difficult when we put things off. Sometimes it is best to just go ahead and get things out of the way while they are still small problems. Don't procrastinate until your life is out of hand and you can write your name in the dust that is on your to do list. Get out there right now and tackle life in bite sized chunks.
