(Actual conversation I had with myself this morning) “Dude, where did the time go?  I think you better get your a$$ back in the saddle pal.   I mean, when was the last time you wrote a blog?  For that matter, when was the last time you worked on your book, went surfing, rode your mountain bike, took your wife out for an elegant dinner?  (All that was in my head, this was out loud) You sir need to organize your time a little better.”

Everyone is busy.  I could also come up with plenty of excuses as to why I haven’t done a lot of these things, but excuses are easy and I don’t like them.  I feel the truly successful people know how to manage their time so efficiently that they are able to fit in all the things they love to do and spend time with all the people they love to spend time with.  There are things I need to change in my life to accomplish this very task.  Some will be difficult for me and others not so much.  There are things I am allowing to affect my time that do not need to be there, and some things I want to be there but are not mainly because of the things I don’t need.  I know, major run on sentence, but necessary.  Everyone seems to have advice today on how easy it is to be successful.  I am finding that there is only two things that can get you wherever it is you want to be.  In my case, where I want to be.  Working hard and getting organized.  By organized, I mean a lot of things.  Maybe I’ll start with having a little less coffee.  One thing is for certain, the clock waits for no one.
