One of the soft skill competencies that most of us struggle with, including myself, is time management. Recently, I decided to organize my life by clearing out my closet and I had an "aha" moment in the process. As I was getting rid of clothes and shoes that I haven't worn in years, I thought about how there were things in my closet that I had made room for but that didn't serve any purpose. Much like my closet, our schedules are jam-packed with tasks, practices, and events that serve little to no purpose in accomplishing goals or in the "big picture." Managing time begins with establishing priorities and determining what deserves space in your schedule and what does not. After this soft skill revelation, I have vowed to clear my schedule with the same vigor that I did my closet. Take time today to lay out your schedule like you would an outfit; keep the things that you absolutely need and remove the things that you don't. Remember that we can fill our schedules until there is no wiggle room, or create space to enjoy the most important things in life....faith, family, and friends. #timemanagement #softskills #softskillsdevelopment #newblogpost #blogher
