How to Coach Yourself and Others Essential Knowledge For Coaching | 页面 344

Time with others is a connecting process, in which we engage
not just our rational brains, but our feelings as well. But time
with others, while essential for getting things done, can also be
one of the biggest time robbers. We can achieve nothing without
others; but if we are not careful, we can achieve nothing because
of others.
F/ Time Travellers
Our personalities are the key to finding out what kind of time
manager we are. Whether we tend to do too much or too little,
overwork or underwork, buzz around like a bee or freeze
through procrastination, all comes down to one thing: which of
the following Time Travellers are you?
1. The Perfectionist
The Perfectionist is one of the worst examples of a workaholic.
They fill up their days with work activities in the belief that
everything they do has to be as perfect as possible. George
Bernard Shaw was a typical workaholic. He wrote mechanically
every day of his career. Looking back on his life, he said, "When I
was a young man, I observed that nine out of ten things I did
were failures. I didn't want to be a failure, so I did ten times more
work."
2. The Socialiser
The Socialiser is not a good time manager. If you are in
conversation with a Socialiser, you’ll know this for they are the
hardest people to break away from. Socialisers simply love to be
with people, talk about people, and be of service to people. This
invariably means putting time and other duties into second
place.
