Yesterday we talked about the opportunity costs for mismanaged time. And I encouraged you to quantify your earning potential so you can see how much wasted time is costing you.
Today I want to talk to you about the assertiveness you must adopt to enforce your own time boundaries.
Why is this important?
Just because you have had an epiphany about curating your time better, doesn’t mean everyone else got the memo.
Let me say it again- Nobody else got the memo.
So they will still be calling you, texting you, expecting immediate replies, dropping by unannounced, asking you to stop whatever you’re doing to help them now!
It’s almost like waging war to get other people to respect your time.
And if you’re not careful, you are welcoming all these distractions, interruptions, and time wasters into your life.
If you want to master your time management, you are going to have to learn how to use your words and tell people to leave you ALONE!
And even after you tell them, you’re going to have to enforce some consequences when they do not leave you alone.
And you’re probably going to have to do this multiple times.
Consistently and with assertiveness.
