Time is one of our most precious assets.
None of us gets any more of it than anyone else.
Yet some of us use it far more productively.
I employ 27 steps to wring the most from my 24/7.
Here are seven of them you can put to good use today.
1. Get organized. Quit wasting time looking for things.
2. Buy and use an appointment book.
3. Choose one with a calendar for each month.
This lets you see your schedule 4.3 weeks at a time.
4. Schedule appointments and projects in your book.
5. Prioritize all projects. Swallow the big frogs first.
These frogs are your high-payoff projects.
6. Plan tomorrow at the end of today.
7. Organize your "in" box before you go home.
For the other 20, email me at jerry@jerrybellune.com
Please put "Time" in the subject line.
That way I won’t think your message is spam.
Next week we’ll discuss costs and profits.

Can you manage the universe?
I’m off to Atlanta this morning for an interview with Ruth King.
We’ll talk about newsletters as a business-building strategy.
Watch it at 10 a.m.today on ProfitabilityChannel.com
We’ll also tape 17 weekly Business Tips of the Week.
You can see them each Monday on her Internet channel.
Ruth offered me this opportunity more than a year ago,
It has great value to help entrepreneurs. Of course, I said yes.
Not all opportunities do. Analyze each one for value.
Blog reader Bob Bobber passed along this important point.
Bob teaches executives to get more from their time.
Some requests for your time present genuine opportunities.
Some don’t. Analyze them. Ask yourself:
1. Does it have to be done now?
2. Can someone else do it?
3. What happens if I don’t do it?
I would add: Will it help those I want to help?
Many highly-motivated people tend to become martyrs.
They think it is their responsibility to take on everything.
Does your job description read: "Manager of the Universe"?
Mine doesn’t either. Let someone else manage the universe.
You may already have enough on your plate.
You have your great purpose in life to take care of.
