Discipline to Start and Finish on Time
Do you ever find your day is overrun?
Have you found yourself with an unfinished item at the end of the day?
This could happen to any of us for different reasons.
We should make overrun an exception not the rule.
Commit
After committing time for a family, business, financial or community event then we should spend that time completing the activity.
If we allow one event to run into the next then we start to let the world down.
The end of the day arrives with jobs not done, people let down.
The danger is this could become a permanent habit.
Not good for your relationship with other people or your personal integrity with the world around you.
Overrun
Why might overrun occur?
Maybe a perfectionist wants to get the job done perfectly when 80% may be good enough.
Maybe that you attempt to schedule and commit too many events into a day leaving yourself an impossible task in the attempt to get the job done.
Or you may be attempting to learn new skills and forge a pass into new routines and habits. The learning of new skills takes longer and more effort. Did you allow for enough time?
Manage
Start to manage the process with discipline of yourself. Make a routine of starting and finishing on time to ensure you always complete your days schedule.
Know that if the job cannot be completed you’ll do your best in the time allowed.
Then let people know how you’ve done and what you will do next to progress and move forward.
Learn
Doing this you learn not to overcommit your schedule and manage your time.
As you learn that discipline of start and finish times you become more effective.
You may also learn that to be early is to be on time
Having finished early you have free time for unexpected events and overruns.
This takes additional pressure of yourself and relationships with people.
They understand that you are reliable to start and finish a day, a job, a payment, a report, an assignment all in good time.
You can control time with the discipline to start and finish what you do.
Make that choice and start on the road to improve in your world.
You can rely on that.
