Anything that stops you from achieving is a time waster, getting in the way of clarification and accomplishment of goals. Each of us dabbles with and has favourites. Being skilled at interacting with them stops us seeing them for what they are. They include:
· Lack of planning: failure to plan is a plan to fail.
· Delaying for tomorrow what should be done today: proscrastination.
· Interruptions: continuity breakers for which we have no contingency.
· Internet: we get sucked into researching/playing with what does not add value to us.
· Problems: constantly dealing with what causes doubt and uncertainty.
· People: very distracting, especially if they do not understand your vision.
· Lack of headspace: giving thought time to fripperies rather than what’s really important.
· Busyness: constant doing stops reflection and hinders progress.
· Perfectionism: constant tweeking for ‘it’ to be perfect brings delay.
· Fear: being afraid that if we do differently we will fail.
· Time blindness: inability to see the value of the time available to us.
· Meetings: where all have to speak, but not have something to say.
Recognise them. Decide how to handle them. Then take back what’s yours.
