			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why is it that some people accomplish so much and still have free time to play and have fun while others are always struggling to get something done…anything done?</p>
<p>I know why, you also know why.</p>
<p><strong>It all happens so innocently.</strong></p>
<p>•    You raise your hand to <em><strong>volunteer</strong></em> one more time…even though you know that you are already overcommitted.<br />
•    You sit down in front of the <em><strong>television</strong></em> and get sucked into the vortex of mindless viewing.<br />
•    You spend hours with <em><strong>needy clients</strong></em> that drain you of your energy.<br />
•    <em><strong>Family members</strong></em> call or drop by unannounced because they know you will be there…of course you will be there…you work from home!<br />
•    You answer the <em><strong>telephone</strong></em> every time it rings.<br />
•    The sound of the <em><strong>e-mails</strong></em> as they arrive in your inbox are like a beacon to come to the party.<br />
•    You start to do some research for an upcoming workshop and you get sucked into the <em><strong>web of the internet</strong></em>, realizing 3 hours later that you had not finished the research that you intended to do.</p>
<p><span style="color: #993300;"><strong>You are a victim of &#8220;Time Hijackers&#8221;!</strong></span></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 210px"><img title="PEOPLE ON CLOCK" src="http://frontpagemarketing.co.uk/images/people_clock.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">people on clock</p></div>
<p>Volunteering, TV, Needy Clients, Family Members, telephone, e-mails, the internet…..Blah…Blah…Blah….the list is never ending.</p>
<p>When you allow others to manipulate your time you are allowing someone else to determine what is important for YOU!</p>
<p>What will it take for you to put a STOP to the hijacking of your time…your life?</p>
<p>First you need to be aware that you are letting these people and events take your precious time and then you need to be aware of how you want to <em><strong>spend your valuable time</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Think of your time as money and you have a whole $24.00 each day to spend. After you take away the $7 or $8 for much needed sleep…you are left with a precious $16 to spend on your family, your friends, your business and yourself.</p>
<p>There has never been a more exciting time than the time we are living in right now.</p>
<p><strong>We live in a Time of Choice.</strong><br />
<strong>We can choose how to spend our Valuable Time.</strong><br />
<strong>We get to choose how we fit people and events into our schedules. </strong><br />
…and believe it or not<br />
<strong>We have the POWER to CHOOSE our total experience.</strong></p>
