Time management techniques tend to focus on making us, well, focus on doing one thing at a time. And that may work for many, if not most. And it may be a necessary approach at times. But there are alternatives... Read on to find out about one that you thought you'd never hear about.
What if you start a project (project A) and then suddenly get inspired about another project (project B) and as you start working on that project, you suddenly feel absolutely compelled to work on that report you've been meaning to get to (project C). And then, once you've just started to make some headway, project A beckons all over again.
Sounds like a mess to most people, doesn't it? But some people work that way. And while they may or may not manage to complete their projects right then and there, there is a way to approach things that way -- but in a somewhat more purposeful fashion, and actually get a lot done -- and completing the projects eventually.
How so?
Here are four principles you have to keep in mind if you want to make this serial work flow method work for you:
1) Stop beating yourself up over it
Stop feeling guilty or ashamed about your supposed lack of organizational willpower. Do you have any idea how much that alone would rob you of energy and your ability to get things done?
2) Stop losing work you've already done
The biggest problem with the serial approach is that we often forget where we were last time we worked on whatever it was. That is a big productivity killer. But it doesn't have to be that way. Yes, it will take a bit of discipline, but you should find it relatively easy to come up with it since the reward will be that you can then move on to the next project -- guilt-free!
What do you have to do? Make sure you leave that last project in a place where you can pick up where you left off. So make sure you a) find it again, and b) tie up lose ends/thoughts in a visible way -- i.e., write down what you did and where you left off and what needs to be done next.
3) Benefit of your brain's weird wanderings
I am not kidding. Our brain is designed in weird and wonderful ways. It does its thing even -- and especially -- while we're doing something else. So while you've put project A aside for the time being, you may get a brilliant idea for it right when you're supposedly doing something else. Write it down! Accept that your brain works that way. In fact, embrace it. And schedule maybe 3 projects together that you can alternate between until you're done. If you finish one of them, phase in another project in its slot.
4) Keep things interesting and fast paced
Arranging projects into this serial pattern can keep otherwise boring tasks quite interesting since you'll be switching back and forth between them and won't have to do any of them for longer than you feel like it.
So instead of beating yourself up, harness your brain's unique ability to do things in a serial rather than an all-at-once way. Many projects are too big to be completed all at once anyway. So why not break them down, and alternate tasks. One task for project A, one for project B, one for project C, and repeat. You may be amazed at how much you get done. It may not be the most conventional time management technique, but it may well work for you and help you get even the most tedious jobs done -- eventually.

It might well be the only one you'll ever need because it's so powerful: The ultimate multi-media time management course -- with workbook -- for internet marketers and other stressed out professionals: Time Management Course.

ATTRACTION
Every person has a wealth of untapped potential in themselves. Most people are unaware that every experience they have had in life was caused by their thoughts and emotions. It is a picture in the mirror that is painful to look at and many people will turn away from this information because of the pain involved in accepting any involvement in the creation of the pain in their lives.
Examine your life. Like most of us, you are happy with some of the facets of your life and unhappy with some. It has been easy for most of us to believe that we are victims of destiny. Whatever will be, will be. "Que sera, sera," as the old song goes.
Sorry to bring a cloud to rain on your pity party but you are not a victim of some mythical dart board where God throws darts with your name on them and says "Yep, they are going to have a really crummy life." There isn't a giant mound of cosmic fertilizer just waiting to be dumped on you or pennies from heaven (I wish) that will sprinkle your life with constant wealth.
Many refer to life and the Law of Attraction as a game. Much like a game there can be winners and losers. The Law of Attraction has only winners once you learn that like everything in the universe, there are rules. The only losers in this game are the people who fail to grasp the true meaning of how to use the Law of Attraction to their benefit.
One of the laws that everyone knows about is the law of gravity. If you believe in it (or don't want to believe in it), it still works - all the time. This is the same as all the Universal or Forgotten Laws. They really exist. And because they exist, they are affecting us even though we don't know about them or how they work. Because gravity only affects the earth, it is probably the weakest of all of the Laws, but all of the Universal Forgotten Laws have an impact on every dimensions and every object and being.
The Law of Attraction is without a doubt the strongest of all the Forgotten Universal Laws. The simplest explanation is "Like attracts like." Or you get what you believe. Whatever you focus your thoughts on will come to be in your life. If we focus on what we want, we will attract it. But this is a double-edged sword because if we focus on what we don't want, we will attract it too! The Law of Attraction has no way of knowing that you really didn't want that awful . . . well you put in the words, you know what you got that you didn't want.
The Law of Attraction is simple. Our thoughts are very haphazard and short lived. We bounce from one idea to another in a nanosecond and never really focus on any one thing for long. If you say, "I want a house with a pool, a king-sized bed, and a 52" plasma TV," the Universe begins paving the way for your wish to become a reality. But if you say what you normally say, "But I can't afford it," you have given the Universe a different path and all plans for that house, the pool, the king-sized bed and that awesome 52" plasma TV are washed away. Congratulations, you just got what you asked for - more of the same old life you have now!
Now that you have a basic understanding of the Law of Attraction, make use of it. When you wish for something, like a new car, don't think that you can't afford it. Just thinking that immediately starts transmitting the message of scarcity and lack. So you end up with even more scarcity and lack. It is only by changing our thoughts and emotions, that we can use them like a giant magnet to attract what we really want. Probably the biggest thing most people want to use the Law of Attraction for is MONEY. Almost everyone wants more money. Does thinking about having more money, bring a smile to your face until you come back to "reality" and realize that there isn't going to be more money and that is just a pipe dream? Do you look at people with money and have nothing but contempt and envy? Most of us were taught some pretty judgmental things about money and what happens if you have lots of it. But you can change the way you look at money by consciously altering your thoughts and feelings and soon you will have money flowing into your life.
Sometimes Believing Is Not Enough
It seems like there is step or perhaps a leap of faith that we missed. Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey created The 11 Forgotten Laws course to help those of us who missed that step on the road to success or the path to fulfillment.
The Law of Attraction and the 10 other Forgotten Universal Laws are not just for the gurus of the world. They are for you, me, and everyone else who believes that they are the creators of their lives, not helpless victims of some mythical being who wants them to be poor, unhappy, and living a life without richness. Discover 11 Other Laws Not Revealed in "the Secret." You'll wonder why it took you so long to become the person you always knew you were, living where you always dreamed you'd be.

ATTRACTION
The Law Of Attraction is a concept that many people have heard of and some readily embrace. Put simply, it is the idea that the things we focus our mental attention and energy upon become manifested in our realities. For example, focusing upon a job promotion brings it to pass. Conversely, the negative side of it can be true - for example, a woman desperately afraid she won't have enough money for her mortgage payment finds that this is true at the beginning of the month. While the concept seems relatively simple, implementing it in a positive direction can prove challenging. Here are 3 steps to making the power of Attraction work for you:
1. Take care of yourself physically. Eat healthy meals, primarily lean proteins, fresh fruits and veggies, and whole grains. Avoid eating highly processed foods and sugars. Take vitamins and supplements as needed. Your natural health care practitioner can help you create the ideal "supplement cocktail" tailored to your particular needs. Most people can start with a food based multivitamin and fish oil and go from there. Adopt a doctor approved exercise program, focusing ideally upon cardiovascular exercise as a way to boost endorphin production and elevate mood.
2. Clear your mind of anger and negative emotions. First, allow yourself the full experience of the emotion. Feel how angry you feel, how tense your body becomes. Then, decide you are going to release this because it doesn't serve you or help you achieve a positive mindset. Allow that the person you are angry with did the best he or she could with the tools at his or her disposal - unfortunately some people's survival mechanisms and decisions lead to a lot of collateral damage. Keep in mind, you are exactly where you are meant to be, exactly how you are, at this very moment. Visualize releasing the person you are angry at, or the negative emotion, into the Universe, freeing yourself of the responsibility for punishing or harboring the thought. Begin to consider the benefits that might come from this experience. Did you learn about yourself? Gain an experience that may help you teach others?
3. Spend time daydreaming and fantasizing about your goals and dreams. Consider them in full sensory detail - think about how it will taste, smell, feel, sound, and look like to achieve the goal. You will find as you practice this exercise that your motivation to work toward these goals will increase, and you will begin to see more positive results in your life.

"A friend is one who knows all about you and still loves you just the same." (Jyoti Khatter)
"Each friend represents a world in us; a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only in meeting them that a new world is born." (Anais Nin)
"Friends are those people who know the words to the song in your heart and sing them back to you when you have forgotten the words." (Anonymous)

"It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company." (George Washington)
"One can do without people but one has need of a friend." (Chinese Proverb)
"The only way to have friends is to be one." (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
"The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are right." (Mark Twain)
"Think where mans glory most begins and ends, and say my glory was I had such friends." (William Butler Yeats)
"True friends, like diamonds, are precious and rare. False friends, like autumn leaves, are found everywhere." (Anonymous)
Foolishness
"Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain." (Johann Christian Friedrich von Schiller, 1759-1805, The Maid of Orleans. Act iii. Sc. 6.)
