Time Management "Most people don't know what they want, and they're sure they don't have it." A. Newman Time mangament and life balance are really about our priorities. The challenges to setting priorities is age-old: most people simply don't know what they want. How can we balance our life if we don't understanding the rules that balance and govern basic human nature? Countless books have expressed the age-old problem; most people don't really know what they want." Self made millionaire, author and owner of IMG Sports Management Company, Mark McCormick faced this obstacle when hiring seven-figure managers to run his global company. (Yes, we said seven-figure!) Author, T. Harv Ecker, of the recent New York Times best selling book The Millionaire Mind, dedicates an entire section of the book to this amazingly common issue, which is one of the roots of many work life balance and time management challenges. Time Management and Work Life Balance THE SOLUTION ! Time management consulting and work life balance training at Idea Firm begins with helping people figure out what they want and effectively manage their demands and opportunities. Some businesses and individuals know what they want, their challenge is how to become more effective to achieve quicker results. Idea Firm's proprietary innovative strategy, The Three Risks Program, helps companies set priorities, develop goals and determine the strategies necessary to execute them into existence. Why Time Management Is A Problem Once we have focus and a direction to apply the time management strategy, we can than apply actual time management training and effectiveness skills that can double or triple an individual's actual productivity level. Why? People's productivity is rooted in how they feel and think. If they feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of work and decisions that must be executed, their focus is lost. We teach strategies that keep people focused and allow them to continually differentiate the important from the unimportant. Historically, the term Work Life Balance is a "left-over" buzzword in today's busy marketplace. The expression work life balance was actually coined in the 80s to help explain the unhealthy life choices that many people were making. People were choosing to neglect their personal life in favor of work-related chores and goals. And it hasn't gotten any better. Over the past 25 years there has been a substantial increase in the average work week from 43.6 hours to 47.1 hours, not including the commute. Managing Priorities vs Managing Time Our innovative time management consulting includes the fundamental principles of setting purposeful priorities that designate appropriate amounts of time. Then we train our clients in how to focus their attention on areas that we have identified as essential in achieving goals critical to their professional success and personal fulfillment. Stress, Burn Out and Life Balance More than ever before, Americans are experiencing burnout due to overwork and increased stress. This condition is seen in nearly all occupations from blue collar workers to upper management. Over the past decade, a rise in workplace violence, an increase in levels of absenteeism as well as rising workers' compensation claims are all evidence of an unhealthy work life balance of epidemic proportions. Don't let your operation fall prey to a team dynamic that is out of balance. Call Idea Firm today to discuss our unique work life balance program. Eliminating Stress Idea Firm has a strong philosophy regarding stress and burn-out. We believe the elimination of stress is absolutely essential for achieving and maintaining professional as well as personal success. We teach our clients the difference between stress and challenge. A challenge helps us learn and grow. Stress, on the other hand, is a real and physically painful reaction (such as fear) that can be harmful to your body if it remains. Yes, it is true, that some emotional pain is a necessity to transform one's outlook and beliefs during periods of personal growth. However, without proper guidance, people can sometimes dwell in this stressed mental/physical state unnecessarily, causing physical harm.
