Having taught music
lessons to students who were scheduled half-hour apart for
sixty years, I learned to be aware of my time. This carried
over into the work world when I operated Milano Music Center
and served in politics. I hope these fifteen steps I followed
will now help others:
-
Let your desire to be organized lead toward the goal of
giving service.
-
Go
to bed early and get up early.
-
Pray,
meditate, study, evaluate, and plan.
-
Write
plans down, keep them current, and post your journal daily.
-
Concentrate, work hard, and follow plans.
-
Follow
through, finish up, and tidy up.
-
Have
a place for everything and keep everything in place.
-
Make
a time and motion study on yourself.
-
Use
schedules, checklists, forms, and memorize routines.
-
Learn
to focus, keep first things first, and avoid distractions.
-
Wear the right apparel, use the best equipment, and develop
good work habits.
-
Follow
Cycle of Progress: Learn, Train, Delegate; Inspect, Retrain,
and Reward.
-
Gain control of Five Key Times: Arise & Retire, Leave
& Return, and Meals.
-
Simplify
& Purify your life.
-
After
all is said and done, listen to the Spirit and let God direct
you.
