Time Management & Leaving Home At The Right Time
It is very simple: you left home too late.
If you left home earlier you probably "could have seen this coming." But often you are taken by surprise. Yet if you think of it, traffic jams never really come as a surprise.
So why did you leave home too late?
You did because it is safe there. We are happy at home in the same way as we are comfortable when doing the things we like. We like activities we are good at and we tend to postpone those activities we dislike even though we know that they must be done.
You like meetings, but you hate to prepare them. You like to drive, but you hate to buy a navigation system. You like to get new clients, but you hate to promote your product. You like to receive new orders, but you hate to contact clients or maintain relationships. .. just think about your own list of things you like (which make you feel at home and those you hate - you have to leave home).
The rest is quite simple. We can not always stay at home. We wouldn't meet new people, interesting relations, come up with new viewpoints. And also we have to leave home because some other duties require a response. Sometimes a simple driver's license may expire; something that simple you can see coming weeks, month or even years before. And so you have to get out. You may hate waiting in the queue for some formality. Yet you 'can't' drive without a license.
Time management is just like that; you'd better go out first and finish all those activities that you hate and go back home with a good feeling knowing that you are free to do what you like.
