Time Management Tools & Your Income...

There are many time management tools and software that can help you plan your days better and prioritize your task more effectively and efficiently. Those tools can be great for organizational purposes, but what about time management tools that help increase your wealth, income, and results?

If you read the article Effective Time Management, you probably have a good understanding that there's more to time management than organizing daily task.

There are two time management exercises I recommend that can help you grow tremendously in your income, career, business, health, and relationships. And, it will only cost you $2.50 for a composition book at Staples.

When it comes to measuring human potential and your worth as a human being, you are literally worth billions and billions of dollars. The potential that resides in you is unlimited. There are no studies out there that has specific information to the limits of humans.

If one so tries to claim that human beings have a certain limitation or expiration, rest assured, soon enough that record or claim is broken and reaches a new height. When you were born your body and spirit didn't come with instructions saying, “Ok, here is what you're capable of doing and here are your limits. There is no way you can exceed them.”

We, as human beings, were gifted at birth with the power of limitless creation. This is the only thing that separates us from a cat, dog, or horse. We have the ability to set our own price tag in life and achieve it.

Be careful not to mix up your worth as a human being and financial worth. Those are two separate entities working in the same system of life. Like I said before, your worth as a human being is almost immeasurable. You are worth billions and billions of dollars in the realm of human potential. If you could measure your worth as a human, it would have to be in the context of how wealthy or “well” one is. Measure how you're succeeding in all areas of your life and those results will tell you the degree of your well-being.

When you look at your financial worth, is it good or bad? If you chose bad, realize that's just one area of your life that needs to be worked on. It doesn't mean that you are not worthy or lower than anyone else. It just means that you lacked the awareness on how to earn significant amounts of money.

We all start somewhere and we have all lacked that kind of awareness. However, know that there is a way out. Wanting to increase your financial worth is noble and should be sought to achieve. Think about this: the more money you earn the more value you can provide, the more people you can help, and the better your life and experiences will be. All in all, the more money you have the better your personal life will be and the better others will become.

So, if you're looking to increase your financial worth here is one of the simple time management tools that will help reach your financial goal faster.---

Decide how many hours you want to work per day, how many days per week, and how many weeks per year. Then, take your income goal for this year and break it down to what you'll be earning per month, per week, per day, and per hour.

For example, an income goal of $130,000 where you service people 50 weeks per year, 6 days a week, for 8 hours per day. The $130,000 breaks down to earning $2,600 per week, $436 per day, and $54 per hour. Now that you have this information, the secret is that you have to invest your time in activities that return you $54 per hour, $436 per day, and $2,600 per week.

This is an effective time management tool because it exactly measures where you're investing your time. Not only is it an effective time management tool, but it's also a great way to test your courage and faith. :)

Are you getting the results you want in your life? Do you even know what results you want? Life is a journey with series of problems and challenges to be solved. You either get the results you want or you just put time in. I think that 85% of the people in this world just put time in, 12% of the people have an idea of what they want and try to get it, and the remaining 3% have clearly defined goals and focus on getting results.

Welcome to the 3% club! Your focus should be on getting results and the only way to do that is being accountable for them. If you take account for every circumstance and result currently in your life, you're holding tremendous amounts of power and have the ability to achieve bigger and better results.

When you're accountable, there is no blame, luck, or misfortune coming from outside circumstances. There's just you going forward or backwards and that's totally your responsibility.

If you want to increase your income, I suggest you measure your financial results at the end of every month. Doing this may take some courage at first, but seeing the nitty gritty will give you the ability to clean it up. Both of these time management tools or exercises are intended for your growth and awareness. Simply use a composition notebook and document your financial productivity.

Here are some questions to get you started:

• How much did I earn this month?
• How much do I want to earn each month?
• How is my business doing?
• What is my net worth?
• How many assets do I own?
• Am I living to my fullest potential?
