Benjamin Franklin said, "Do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of."

It's a simple fact that in this age of multi-tasking, dual career/daycare mom's and dad's - the scarcest commodity of all, is TIME.

If you are feeling stretched for time, to the point that you do not see how you'll ever be able to devote any real effort toward a goal planning process - then listen up.

The first thing to do when trying to find time for setting and achieving goal plans, is to track how your time is currently being spent. Odds are that you are allowing life to manage you, rather than you effectively managing your life.

Track your day in 20-30 minute increments, using a spiral notebook or journal. Jot down what roles you played and the activities you engaged in throughout the day. Ideally, you should track how your time is spent for an entire week.

Once you've done this exercise for a couple of days, you're going to start seeing patterns of how your time is being utilized. You'll begin to notice opportunities where your time can be reallocated for more productive activities. In addition, you'll realize that simply because you are more focused on how your time is spent, you'll get more done in a day than you were previously.

It's true that what we focus on tends to expand. When you are watching the clock, doesn't time seem to go by more slowly? Similarly, when we are watching how we are spending our time, we somehow seem to find more of it.

Once the week is done and your notes are complete, sit down and analyze how you've been spending your time. Identify pockets of time that is not being used to your benefit such as: time in front of the TV, on the telephone, in front of the computer, sleeping, etc.

Consider investing in a quality time management system. This will compliment your efforts in setting and achieving goal plans for maximum results.

It is a rare thing to find a really successful person who has not strongly developed a habit of promptness. Someone who is constantly missing their bus, who is almost invariably late in keeping appointments, and who is habitually behind time in meeting his bills, creates a distrust in the minds of those who have dealing with him.

Although he may be honest and his intentions may be good, he somehow always comes up short in meeting the timelines he's committed himself to.

The late J. Pierpont Morgan told a friend he regarded every hour of his time worth a thousand dollars. This may very well be the reason his fortune grew to such a mass.

Too often we do not consider that our time is worth much. We should set a price upon our time to ensure we use it wisely, and to convince others not to make attempts to waste it.

How can a person expect to succeed in setting and achieving goal plans when his tomorrows are always mortgaged for the things that should have been accomplished today?

The person who is always ready, the decisive man or woman, the one always on the alert for the next and higher thing, who is always prepared for that which is required, and does it at once - is the one who wins.
