Packing More into Your Life
When you pack for a trip, if you are more organized then you can fit more into your suitcase To get more organized in your life to fit more in, you can use the Time Quadrant Model which divides things into important and urgent categories
4
What is Important?/What is Urgent?
Important - Activities that contribute to your mission and goals Tests, exercise, relationships, work, projects Urgent-Pressing things, in-your-face-things, activities that demand immediate attention Phone calls, interruptions, a test tomorrow, car breaks down
5
There are 4 Time Quadrants
Important and Urgent The “Procrastinator” Exam Tomorrow Friend gets Injured Late for Work Project Due Today Urgent and Not Important The “Yes-Man” Unimportant phone calls Interruptions Other people’s small problems Peer pressure Important and Not Urgent The “Prioritizer” Planning/Goal setting Essay due in a week Exercise Relationships Relaxation Not Urgent and Not Important The “Slacker” Too much TV Endless phone calls Too much computer games Mall marathons Time wasters
6
Quadrant 1 – The Procrastinator
There will always be Q1 things that we can’t control Last minute meeting Illness By putting things off, like volunteering until the last couple of weeks, people become a “stress case” Spending too much of your time here causes Stress and anxiety Burnout Mediocre paerformance
7
Quadrant 3 – The Yes-Man People who spend a lot of time in this quadrant attend to matters that are urgent and may seem important, but are not. For example, a ringing phone. This quadrant is also full of things that are important to other people, but are not important to you Results of spending too much time here Being a people pleaser Lack of discipline Feeling like a doormat for others to wipe their feet on
8
Quadrant 4-The Slacker This is the category of waste and excess. There is nothing here that is urgent or important What appears to be relaxation or renewal turns into wasted time The results of Q4 are Lack of responsibility Guilt Flakiness
9
Quadrant 2- The Prioritizer
The quadrant of excellence The place where you want to spend the most time This person plans ahead for doing first things first Results of spending time here are Control of your life Balance High performance
10
Where do you spend most of your time?
We all spend time in all the quadrants, but the goal should be to increase the time spent in Q2 Shrink Q1 by procrastinating less Say no to Q3 activities Cut down on Q4, slacker activities
11
Habit 3- Two Parts Time Management

13

Opportunity Bravery Risk
14
Why Enter the Courage Zone?
Adventure, risk and challenge is included Everything that makes you feel uncomfortable is here A place for opportunity Because you miss 100% of the shots you never take
15
Never Let Fears Make Your Decisions
Many people let fear make their decisions They don’t try anything new for fear of failure There may be teams you never tried out for, clubs you never joined, someone you never spoke to for fear of being uncomfortable Don’t let fear make your decisions, you make your decisions!
16
Baby Steps Set a goal to use a planner.
Identify your biggest time-wasters. If you are a “pleaser” try saying no for a day when you know it’s the right thing to do. Don’t procrastinate. Make time on your schedule for your big rocks. Don’t give into peer pressure
17
Habit 4 Think Win-Win Attitude toward life, a mental frame of mind that says I can win and so can you. No one is superior and no one is inferior Win – Win is not Win-Lose Lose-Win Lose-Lose

Win-Lose Totem Pole-getting to the top Win-Lose is competitive
Examples of Win-Lose Using other people for your own gain Trying to get ahead at the expense of another Spreading rumors Always insisting you get your own way Becoming jealous/envious when something good happens to someone else
19
Lose- Win These people avoid confrontation so they take the blame to keep the peace It’s the doormat syndrome Giving into peer pressure Set low expectations and compromise your standards
20
Lose-Lose The downward spiral Revenge is lose-lose
I don’t care what happens to me as long as _________ doesn’t do well
21
Win-Win The All You Can Eat Buffet
There is plenty of success to go around Examples of win-win Your best friend got accepted at the college you wanted to get into. You didn’t make it. You are happy for your friend You want to go out to dinner, your friend wants to see a movie. You get takeout and rent a movie for home
22
Win-Win It is contagious
Sometimes though not everyone thinks win-win or you won’t be able to find a win-win solution. Then you need to decide not to play or to walk away Increase how much you think win-win because it will make you feel great! Video Clip
23
Baby Steps Pinpoint the area of your life where you most struggle with comparisons. Perhaps it’s with cloths, physical features, friends or talents. Show sportsmanship. Form a study group before a test so everyone can help each other do better. Next time someone close to you succeeds, be genuinely happy for them instead of feeling threatened.
