Shawn Chhabra-Outsourcing for Better Time Management

Outsourcing helps save you time in the long run. After all, that is what this book is all about. If you do not have the resources in your company and you need to get a project completed then outsourcing to the right person can set your mind at ease. By outsourcing to one person or three different individuals to get small projects and research done will free up your time to manage and focus more on the core items. You are not taking on another employee full-time or even part-time which will save money as well. You want to make sure you know what you are getting in return. Check around and make sure the person is well qualified and experienced in what it is you are depending on them to do. Let them know exactly what it is you need completed and if there is a specific time frame in which the project or task needs to be finished and back to you.

What are the true benefits of outsourcing?

• Better Services
• Less Expensive
• Faster Productivity

Outsourcing is used by big companies as well as small companies or even individuals. These days, a lot of companies use overseas sources and development teams that complete tasks and jobs to deliver quality products or services. You want to have a great contact list of qualified and dependable people that can get the job done in an efficient, satisfactorily and timely manner.

You know you cannot possibly get everything done by yourself. Whether you need flyers, a new website, videos created, a marketing campaign or whatever the project may be you want to find someone who is good at that particular job.

1. Focus

If you can outsource certain tasks then you can focus on your specific challenges and goals for the company. You would be able to avoid distractions that may pop up if you need to research and find something on the internet by simply giving the job to your outsource specialist with the full understanding that they will have the information to you at a certain time and within budget.

1. Time efficiency

Find one person to do one thing and another to do something totally different. With each person doing their own thing, the specialist can get it done at a greater speed, with better dexterity and productivity.

1. Cost

While you cannot complete all of the tasks that need to be done by yourself, you can have a small team of outsourced individuals to call upon when needed. This will save you time, money and headaches because you are able to focus on other more important tasks and new endeavors that may come up. Your ultimate goal is to save money and have a much needed project completed when you want it.

1. Expertise

We have certain skills that we are good at and others, well not so much. When you find a dependable individual(s) with whom you can rely on for their knowledge and expertise then you need to keep them close. While you may have to vision for a new idea or project, someone else can provide the know how to bring it to life efficiently and effectively.

1. Market Knowledge

If you have an outsourced guru who is in the know with all the latest trends and regulations that is a critical factor in enabling your business to succeed. They will know where to get valuable information and keep you up-to-date to develop the kind of business you envisioned.

1. Overhead

This is relatively plain and simple. Yes you will need key employees on a daily basis to help with your business, but you do not need or want to hire to many workers as this will drive your overhead costs up. Not only that, but they would require hardware and equipment, desks, computers, training, telephones, etc…

With outsourcing all you will need is to call or e-mail the individual(s) and let them know exactly what you need and when.

1. Multi-platform

When there is growth in new segments, it is beneficial that your growth expands through multi-channels and multi-platforms. Being able to outsource to specialist with this niche can help grow and spread your business to new audiences.

1. Scope

While we have learned valuable skills in specific tasks over time, it is a must that we have others around us who can help with the broader scope of things: everything from start-up to product creation to design to development to marketing. If we limit ourselves to only working with certain knowledge and skills that we have, trying to expand and grow the business can be limited and restricted. We may miss out on new discoveries and developments in our fields. By combining our skills and working with our go-to specialists who are more knowledgeable and current on what is going on in the marketplace the scope of the business can steadily grow and increase revenue.

WGL-Bonus: Shawn Chhabra- Avoid Distractions and Stay Focus on Goals and Priorities

“Circumstances may cause interruptions and delays, but never lose sight of your goal.” -Mario Andretti

Are you unable to concentrate on the tasks you should be doing? Are you focusing too much attention on gossip, chit chat, web surfing, and other insignificant activities? If yes, then you are letting distractions run your day.

Distraction - a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else.

Focus – to pay particular attention to

The number one enemy of focus is distraction. In this chapter, we will discuss how distractions affect your success and how we can avoid it. We will also talk about the different kinds of distractions and how to deal with them.

Yes we’re all guilty of giving into distractions, whether we realize it or not. We all have so many other things that can steal our attention away, and therefore these can become time suckers. We’re all guilty of giving into distractions, but we need to work through them!

Be Proactive and Stay Ahead of Things

A few weeks after my high school graduation, I started to pack my things for college. I wanted to start as early as possible so as not to interrupt my long awaited month long travel vacation. I started to separate my clothes from my underwear, my socks from my hankies, and my shoes from my slip ons. I put them neatly inside my luggage in an orderly manner. I also put post its on my boxes to label them. I started with books, pillows & blankets. I was really making great progress!

After packing, I felt really accomplished that I had finished packing ahead of time, and as if I was totally ready to go to college when I got back from my vacation. This simple attitude towards your own personal things will also reflect how you work. Sounds simplistic, but think about this for a moment!

If your room is messy, there is an 80% chance that you are cramming to finish a deadline, constantly tardy, and most likely be in distress in all aspects of your life (work, family, relationship). The point here is that when one area of your life is unorganized or distracted, this tends to be an issue across other areas as well.

So if you can recognize that your patterns and habits can help to contribute to unproductive ways, then you can be more aware of it. When you notice the typical distractions then you can do your best to avoid them. Sure it may force you to see things that you don’t always want to see, but this is how you work towards productivity in the end.

Shawn Chhabra- Getting Organized for Better Time ManagementYou may not realize it, but you are actually going to add more time to your day if you work at getting organized. This is something that causes a lot of people to stand up and take notice. When you consider that the benefits outweigh the work that you put into all of this, it’s well worth it to work at your time management skills. Becoming a more organized individual can add so much to your life that you will wonder why you never did this before.Though many argue that getting organized takes too much time out of their day, you stand to gain so many wonderful benefits that it’s well worth it. Sure you are going to have to put forth some effort and some time into all of this, but it shows itself in true productivity. You won’t feel stressed, you will improve your health, and therefore the investment into your well being is worth it alone. You Add Time and Energy To Your Day—Plus So Much MoreIf you don’t believe that time management and organization can benefit you, here are just a few ways that show differently. The initial investment of time into getting organized will far outweigh the drawbacks—and you will come to see that these benefits are immeasurable.• Your mental well being will improve when you are organized: You start to feel more energized and more focused when you get organized. It’s almost as if there is more of a purpose to your day. You are much happier, balanced, and relaxed because you know that you have a plan by which to get it all done. Though it does take effort to get organized at first, you will start to see that the benefits to your state of mind and mental well being make it totally worth it.• Your physical well being will become remarkably better as your stress level will be down: You no longer feel as though you are literally carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. You are relaxed in every sense of the word and that really improves your physical health. You are able to stand with better posture, you don’t get the anxiety that you used to, you no longer have stomach aches, or any other health problems that the stress was causing you before. This is how it all works when you can cope each day, be productive, and don’t feel that all too familiar stress that you are used to.• You will actually be able to get more done as you have a path to work towards: Creating your own path towards productivity means that you get more done in a day. You are essentially buying yourself more time, strange as it sounds. This results in you having a better capability to handle what comes your way. You are also more adept at working through challenges that come up unexpectedly. You get more done when you have a plan, and though that plan may take some time out of your schedule it’s going to pay off big time. You need to plot out that path and that’s where some good organization really comes into play.• You maximize your day and have added priority and structure to your plan of attack: From the start of your day to the finish, you have some sort of structure to work within. This framework helps to keep you on track and ensures that you have something to guide you. In so doing this you also attach priorities to each of the items on here and really have some great ideas of how to get everything done within a day. Though this may have sounded like a daunting task in the past, it no longer is because now you have it all spelled out for you. The “to do list”, the time savers, and all of the ideas and priorities of what you need to get done each day will all contribute to this in a very positive way. The investment of time to get organized and be productive ultimately ensures that you maximize every ounce of your time, and this is what helps you to work towards short and long term goals. This will create a much healthier, happier, and balanced lifestyle in the end—therefore showing that organization really pays off in the long run!

Shawn Chhabra- Change Your Ways To Eliminate The Stress

If you’re like most people then you probably don’t think that you need to change it up. You probably think that you can handle it all and that you’ve done fine thus far. Most of us tend to brush off the need to take care of ourselves or manage our stress, but that can be a huge mistake. If you feel like you are in control or that you can handle it, take a step back to gain perspective and try to see if this is really true.Most of us can stand to improve when it comes to managing our time. The reality is that there is always going to be stress in life, but it’s up to us to learn how to manage it. A big part of that is working to eliminate the source of the stress—and that ties very nicely into effective time management! When you can learn to maximize your time each day and you can get rid of distractions and focus on being truly productive, then there are so many great advantages to that.We Can All Stand To Improve In This Area If We’re Really HonestIf you need convincing that you need to change your ways, I have a few. This is just hitting the surface in what you need to do to take control of things and why time management is so vital to life. Sure we all think that we have it under control, but if you are really honest with yourself then changing your ways really CAN improve your quality of life and add to your balance.Here are just a few ways that the lack of time management and excessive stress can really hurt you and why change is essential moving forward.• Little by little, the stress of not having enough time to get things done can chip away at you: If you don’t believe it you will start to feel the negative effects of this over time. Stress seems very much like an obscure thing at first, but after awhile it starts to wear away at your mental and physical health. When you don’t have enough time to get everything done you start to internalize that stress. This all adds up to decreased productivity and worse yet, it ends up causing you issues such as stomach problems, trouble focusing or being productive, anxiety disorders, depression, weight gain or weight loss, and worse. So the more that the stress is present, the more that this is taking its toll on you just a little bit at a time.• If you don’t take control over these bad habits, they will take control of you: Yes the bad habits that you have fallen into are going to get the best of you. Again not a scare tactic, but rather just reality. If you don’t learn to effectively manage your time, the work will pile up even more. Your family and life responsibilities will become overwhelming.You will become moody, withdrawn, frustrated, and generally have a hard time in coping. This isn’t an ideal scenario in any way! So if you want to remain in control and be productive, then you need to stay ahead of it. This is how to make your life better and how to achieve true balance—so head in the right direction by staying positive and focused!• The only way to be truly productive and achieve a healthy and balanced lifestyle, is to change your ways for the better: Recognizing that you have problems in this area is the first and most important step. If you want to get to better days, more productivity, and really take a stand in your life then you will learn how to make effective changes now. It may be scary and feel overwhelming, but just take it one step at a time. This book will help you to create techniques that truly work, give you helpful tips, tactics, and ultimately ensure that you are more productive and truly balanced!

Shawn Chhabra-Lack of Time management and Stress- Why Your Lack of Time Management Is Working Against You

Do you feel stressed each and every day? Do you often feel as though you can’t possibly get everything done? Are you worried or anxious often? If some of these common signs sound familiar to you, then this is how a lack of time management can start to get to you after awhile. Not only can it work against your ability to concentrate and be productive, but it can also create a negative impact to your health as well.

If you feel as though you are working hard but never getting anything done, then it’s time to take notice of that. When your lack of time management and organization is creating a negative impact in your life, it can often feel as though you are running in place and not getting anywhere. Does this sound familiar? You’ve dealt with this heavy weight on your life for long enough, now it’s time to make positive changes.

Not Effectively Managing Your Time Can Hurt You In Many Ways

Though you probably don’t realize it as you are deeply ingrained in the daily activities, all of the stress and strain each day is taking a toll on you. There is a very direct connection between poor time management and health problems, but we don’t notice this until it’s too late. If you keep at this pace and you keep running in place, it’s going to cause bigger problems in your life than what you are experiencing now.

This isn’t meant to scare you per se, but rather to help you to work through these issues a little bit at a time. This is intended to point out what lack of time management looks like and what problems it may cause. The stress can become too much and often it all spirals out of control—and this book is intended to help you proactively ensure that never happens!

If you are lacking time management in any capacity then it may seem as though you can get it under control. Usually though it starts with a general lack of control, manifests into stress and worry, then becomes a constant fear that results in lack of productivity, lack of focus, health problems, and even depression.

This just goes to show that the way in which you manage your time can be tremendously important. So if you never realized the value of time management before, it’s time to get a hold of this and to use it to help you move towards a better future—it’s time to break the cycle once and for all and I will help you to do just that!

WGL-Bonus: Shawn Chhabra Keeping With Good Time Management Habits Moving Forward

You are in control of your destiny! Now you see that there are so many wonderful ways to get organized and to really take back your time. You can plan for your life and get organized, it just takes a bit of work along the way. Even if you have a bad day or feel particularly unproductive, it’s important to just keep up with the good habits that you have learned and make them your own.

You are going to learn some things along the way and work through changes that work for YOU specifically. This is nothing to model after somebody else as this is a completely individual journey. You will make mistakes, you will have bad days, life will throw you some curve balls that you are unprepared for—but in the end having good time management and organizational skills will help you to overcome it all!

Keep It All Together and Work Towards Your Own Personal Success

It all starts to come together when you put your plan into action. When you can see that your hard work is coming together and that you make it through a day with greater productivity, then this is where the true investment into yourself pays off. Here are some guidelines and ideas to help you to keep up with your good time management skills and habits moving forward.

• Recognize that you are a work in progress and that’s okay: You are not perfect, nobody is. You are going to have to work at this, and some days harder than others. You are going to learn a lot along the way and as you make mistakes you are going to learn from that. Sure sometimes all of this planning can feel rewarding and other times it will feel frustrating. Just know that for everyone it is a work in progress, and it will all come together. You will have more success than frustration, so just feel motivated and focus on the positive to keep yourself moving.

• Learn to enjoy life but know that things often won’t go according to plan: Above all you need to learn to relax, which will come easier when you are organized and more productive. It sounds counterintuitive but having this structure will enable you to relax a bit and to enjoy the things that come your way. Know that sometimes you can’t plan for things and that the unforeseen can happen, and be proactive in developing a strategy to work past that. Be ready to take on whatever comes your way, work at having a plan that works well for you, but do take the time to enjoy life as it comes too.

• Keep finding specific habits and tools that help you to work better: You are going to find apps that you love and then they may become a bit tired after awhile. You are going to feel tempted to try the latest organizational trend, and that’s okay. Keep working at your productivity and know that this is all part of fine tuning it. If you can continue to improve upon your habits and use the right tools and methods to get you there, this means it’s all working and coming together the way it’s intended to. Whatever helps you to work smarter and be more productive is what it’s all about in the end!

• Plan ahead and learn what it means to manage your time specifically: Creating a schedule, carving out time for each of your daily activities, and learning what it means to take charge of your day is what it’s all about. Plan for the important tasks, prioritize each task, and go into each day with a sort of structure that will help you to get through it all. Manage your time, take it back, and use it to make you more productive and effective. This is going to look different for everyone, but if you can stick with it then you can really enjoy the journey much more along the way!

WGL-Bonus: Shawn Chhabra -Creating an Effective Daily Schedule That Works For You

There is no “one size fits all” type of schedule that works the same for everyone. The truth is though that we can all benefit from having a schedule to help guide us through our days. If you have just been winging it or live only by your scheduled appointments for the day, then it’s time to make some effective changes. A well planned schedule can truly ensure that you get everything done and enjoy greater productivity in the process.

It’s always helpful to plan out your schedule the night before when you have the opportunity. If you put in a few minutes each day to plan ahead then it will make things run much more smoothly. It’s important to note that the unforeseen will often come about and can throw you for a loop. If however you have properly planned out your day, then you can still work through those circumstances and make the best of them—thus still enjoying productivity!

Planning Out Your Day Helps You To Navigate Through Anything

It may again sound like more work to create a schedule each and every day, but this is yet another investment into yourself. You can only get more organized when you have a schedule. You are accountable, you have spelled out the tasks at hand, you have prioritized as a result of this, and therefore you have a wonderful plan to help move you forward. This is a good reminder if you feel frustrated or challenged with creating a schedule at first.

If you find that you need a little push or motivation with creating a schedule, consider the benefits. Here is how to go about creating an effective schedule and why it can benefit you so greatly.

• Being realistic with your time constraints and centering a schedule around this accordingly: We all have a lot to do and when you are realistic with those time constraints then you can get a whole lot more done. It may sound counterintuitive or exhausting to spell everything out, but it will always work to your favor.

Your schedule can center around the absolute necessities of what you need to get done and then attach the appropriate amount of time to such activities. Though you might think that this will create an unrealistic or frustrating point of view, you will be surprised at just how it helps you to stay on task and work through things one activity at a time each day.

• Carving out time for all activities, personal or professional, for a thorough overview: This is a schedule to get you through each and every thing that you have planned for the day. If you know that you have your son’s soccer game in the evening, put it on the schedule. If you know that you have calls to return in the afternoon, then put it on the schedule. There is no task, personal or professional, that should be kept off of the schedule. This is your accountability record and the more detail that you attach, the better it will run and keep you heading in the right direction. Productivity will be yours for the taking!

• Points out areas for improvement and better ways of using your time: Assigning the right amount of time to each activity will come with time. So too will pointing out the time suckers that are robbing you of your productive time. This is a work in progress and so you will start to notice patterns and areas of improvement. That’s okay and actually a healthy and helpful part of the process! Though you may not believe that pointing out inadequacies will make you feel better, it will show you what it takes to become better at all of this. Just be honest with yourself always!

• Helps to keep you on track no matter what may come your way: When you plan out your schedule, you are going to build time in for everything. Along with that you must try your best to plan for the unforeseen. Your boss comes at you with an unexpected and urgent project -- no problem because you just have to shuffle things around on your schedule. Your child is home sick from school -- just reprioritize and utilize the daily schedule to help you to accomplish the necessities.

You can also roll things over into your schedule for the next day as necessary, and though this is a guideline it also contains a bit of flexibility within it. This is all about productivity, and sometimes that needs to include planning for the unforeseen. Life happens, so just have a plan for it!
