Time to Live
Module 6: Time for success

Welcome back to Time to Live!

We’ve come a long way together and, before we part company, I want to leave you with a strategy for your continued success in making more Time to Live on a daily basis. This programme will work if you commit to taking the actions necessary. So this week is entirely about the actions you need to take to be successful with your time.

We have no time to waste – so let’s get going!

Part One

Step 1

Begin each day by setting your intention for the day. What do I mean by that? Decide what you want from the day and how you want to live it.

For example, my intention for today is to live it without struggle and with ease. This means that whatever happens and whoever I meet, my intention is to have it be easy. My Powerful Focused Question for today is ‘How can I have this be easy?’. Guess what happens each time I ask this question? That’s right. I find another way of doing a task or being in communication.

Step 2

Build in some enthusiasm by listening to some motivational music or tapes on the way to work and then decide on your attitude for the day. Will you be inspired, peaceful, fun, motivational, determined, focused? What do you choose?

Carry this attitude with you throughout your day, and notice how it affects your work and your colleagues. Take a deep breath and get into action!

Step 3

Make sure you live each day in alignment with your values and those of your company. Every time you feel upset, out of control or stressed, look to see which of your values is not being honoured and choose to take the actions necessary to rehonour them.

Nothing will take you ‘out of time’ quicker than being ‘out of sync’ with your values. Minutes turn into hours and whole days get wasted. Get back in alignment and live consciously in each moment!

Step 4

Keep to your Daily Action Plan, the one you learnt how to do in Week 2. In almost every lesson over the past six weeks I have reiterated the importance of planning.

Take that time each morning to assess your day and plan to get the results you want. Do your vitally important A’s every day. This is a total cure for procrastination – it gets the most important jobs done, leaving your more Time to Live!

Step 5

Don’t assume lack of communication is someone else’s fault. Take control by listening, clarifying and feeding back what’s been said. Don’t waste time having to redo tasks because you did not fully understand what someone else meant. Be responsible around communication!

Step 6

The ultimate success formula is to repeat what works. When you last got it right what steps did you take? What formula did you follow?

Examine exactly what you did to achieve success, whether it was on a particular project, task, to get promotion or even pass your driving test. Ask yourself, ‘What did I do? Who was I being?’. Inspect your method for achieving results and repeat them. Do this in every task you undertake and you’ll see yourself succeed over and over again.

Action!

Congratulations! You’ve completed the course! By now, you’ll know that having more Time to Live means living consciously every minute of every day.

Remember, there is no luck in life. One explanation of luck is ‘when preparedness meets opportunity’. Preparedness in any part of your life will set you up for your opportunity to show the world who you really are.

People who are prepared plan for the future and are prepared for success. Do what it takes to make the time to be who you really are and make more Time to Live this wonderful life!
