Be on the lookout for the following time thieves:

  1. Email
  2. Telephone
  3. Drop-in visitors
  4. Procrastination
  5. Self-distraction
  6. Filing systems that aren’t
  7. Energy suckers (which might include gossip or other negative and non-productive interactions)
  8. Slow or inefficient reading
  9. Junk mail
  10. Re-thinking, i.e., churning through the same idea over and over and over.
  11. Social media (I sure love it, but…whew…my time can sure get ‘taken’ (or really, I’m just giving it away!)

There are others that you might notice, too. The idea is just to become aware of what might be stealing your time and energy. 

Also, consider this teleseminar (which is available as an MP3 along with extensive handouts) to help with time thieves: http://meggin.com/ATPAvailabletoPromise.php

Lots of practical information is shared – with humor.  Gotta love that combination :)
