			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Hello to all my blog readers. It’s been quite some <a href="http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime" style="" target="_blank"  onmouseover="self.status='http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">time</a> since I’ve made a post. Let me just say that I was sick coming to the end of last year and then I had some important church business to handle for the beginning of this year. I hope to be regularly posting now.</p>
<p>For this last part on <a href="http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime" style="" target="_blank"  onmouseover="self.status='http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">time</a> managment, I want to talk about change channels. I know that you are probably wondering if this has anything to do with a television. I assure you it has nothing to do with switching channels on a television. I learnt this concept from Mr. Eben Pagan</p>
<p>So what do I mean by changing channels? What is meant by this concept is that let’s just say you were doing something mentally for the last 50 minutes…probably you were doing a lot of research and reading a lot about some particular subject that really taxed your brain, it will be a wise idea to now change channels.</p>
<p>[ad#Google Adsense-1]</p>
<p>This means that if you were doing something mental, then after you should do something physical or emotional etc. This is what is meant by changing channels e.g now that you have finished your research, you can now probably call up that friend who always makes you laugh and puts you in a good mood. This is a good way to relieve some stress from your last 50 minutes and helps you to be ready for the next task ahead which could be something physical like lifting weights.</p>
<p>You don’t want to spend all your day doing mental tasks cause it may end causing you to feel frustrated and you may decide not to do these important tasks.</p>
<p>So there you have it. 7 <a href="http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime" style="" target="_blank"  onmouseover="self.status='http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">Time Management</a> Techniques you can put in your life right now. What do you think of these techniques? Are they useful? Maybe you have some others that you may like to add. Please leave your comments and tell me what you think.</p>
<p>Have a great day!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Hi there. I will like to share the 4th <strong><a href="http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime" style="" target="_blank"  onmouseover="self.status='http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">Time Management</a> Technique</strong> with you today. This should not be a long post but it will be good if you apply what is shared here.</p>
<p>One problem that we have as humans is staying focused. We like to do many things at once and we already talked about this in a previous post. Today I want to talk to you about having focused <a href="http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime" style="" target="_blank"  onmouseover="self.status='http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">time</a> blocks.</p>
<p>Now what do I mean by that? I mean that after you have eliminated all your distractions and you know what needs to be accomplished, you now need to have some focused time blocks so you can begin to work on these tasks.</p>
<p>[ad#Google Adsense-1]</p>
<p>Focused time blocks is where you dedicate a certain amount of uninterrupted time to a certain task and that and that alone. You don’t work on anything else. Me, writing this blog post is an e.g of using focused time blocks. I dedicated a certain amount of time for me to write this blog post without any interruptions and while I am doing this I have a countdown timer that is counting down time.</p>
<p>That is what I mean by focused time blocks. We need to learn to focus on one thing only. My mentor John Dilemme says that if you try to chase two rabbits, both will escape.</p>
<p>So here is what I want you do. This is a really great <a href="http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime" style="" target="_blank"  onmouseover="self.status='http://www.brianramdhan.com/recommends/managetime';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">time management</a> technique. Make a list of things you need to do tomorrow, then make an estimate on how long you are going to work on that task without any interruptions and then get a timer and begin to work on it tomorrow while the timer counts down.</p>
<p>That is your homework. Try it out and please leave your comment and let the world know how this time management technique is working out for you.</p>
<p>Thank you and I hope you have a very productive day!!!</p>
