5 Personal Management Skills for Being Awesome
4. Organizational Skills
“Organizational effectiveness does not lie in that narrow minded concept called rationality. It lies in the blend of clearheaded logic and powerful intuition.” – Arialdi Minino
Personal management would be incomplete without the ability to stay organized. We cannot accomplish any goals without the resources required to get the job done.
Some people have desks and drawers cluttered with papers and junk. They feel they need these things “just in case”. However, they are probably wasting more time trying to find the things they need than getting the job done anyway. You can greatly increase your personal management skills by getting organized. The best part is you already have the skills required to be organized, you just need to start putting them to good use. Here are a few great organizational skills that will improve your personal management techniques:
- Throw stuff in the garbage. Most people can get away with throwing 50% of the things they save away without any negative consequence.
- Use a PIM (Personal Information manager) such as Outlook or a Day Runner planner / organizer.
- File paperwork away in a manner that is consistent and understandable.
- Reduce your information collecting points. Most people have multiple email inboxes, paper inboxes, voice mailboxes, snail mailboxes, etc. That is too many locations to manage incoming information. Try to whittle it down to only a couple.
5. Continued Self-Development Skills
“Everything we would ever need to become rich and powerful and sophisticated is within our reach. The major reason that so few take advantage of all that we have is simply, neglect.” – Jim Rohn
This is the most important personal management skill of them all. Without the ability to continue moving forward with personal development you will be unable to recognize the areas that need to be corrected in order to increase your time, financial, communication, and organization skills. Without continued self-development, your personal management skills will falter and the awesome person that you are will fail to reach its full potential.
A few ways to increase your continued self-development skills are:
- Schedule a weekly appointment with yourself in order to evaluate your progress and your setbacks
- Spend time each morning focusing on what it is you’re going to accomplish for the day
- Review your day at its closing and accept the areas that need work and praise yourself for the day’s victories
- Remain open-minded and flexible. Remember, change is inevitable.
- Create goals and long term objectives
- No matter what, continue moving forward
Conclusion
By practicing these 5 personal management skills you will assert yourself towards productive personal management. You will find yourself much more confident and relaxed in your everyday dealings. Your finances will be more of a blessing that a pain. You will be understood and you will know exactly where you are heading. Through personal management your integrity will far outshine your faults and you truly will become…awesome.
