Abraham Lincolns Time Management Legacy

Abraham Lincolns Time Management Legacy Lincoln Was Right: Good (Leftover) Things Come to Those Who Wait by David Ellis, Content and Community Manager at YouTern  â€œGood things come to those who wait. But only those things left behind by those who hustle.” â€"                 Abraham Lincoln Recently, I was watching Daniel Tosh, the uber-snarky host of  â€œTosh.0”, doing stand-up on Comedy Central. During one of his signature rants Tosh was berating un-married people, saying: “You get up around noon… go grab a burrito… hit the gym and call it a full day!” I heard this and I immediately thought: “Holy crap! He’s watching me!” Tosh’s scenario used to describe many of my Saturdays to the exact detail… many more than I’m happy to admit, actually. A burrito may not be involved in everyone’s lazy Saturday, but each of us has unproductive patterns we follow; call them a “habit”… a “lifestyle”… perhaps a “rut”. And they don’t just occur on weekends. In school we view our lives in quarters or semesters. We segment the working world into “ X days until Friday”, months or fiscal quarters. The hours and days fly by in a blur as we keep one eye toward the arrival of the next temporal milestone. At the same time, we have a “bucket list”… either just some ideas or wishes; maybe we watched the classic movie and created an actual list for ourselves…a list that we’d get to if we “just had more time”. Most of us, however, allow our bucket list to die a lonely death. We say to ourselves, “I don’t have enough time”. A sad excuse, really. The result:  missing out on goals and accomplishments by wasting time… by not hustling, as Mr. Lincoln might put it. Among the items on my personal bucket list is to become more fluent in Spanish… far beyond the Spanglish that I’ve currently mastered. I have a copy of Rosetta Stone’s Spanish language lessons. I just never seem to have time to put toward using the lessons. I feel like I’m always working, and then it’s time to go to bed. Like many of us, I seem to have no time for crossing stuff off my bucket list. What if we challenged ourselves to look at where our extra time goes? What do you think we’d find? I bet the results might embarrass most of us. Let’s do it anyway! Let’s learn where our “non-hustle” time is spent! For a week… or even better, for a month, diligently record your activities. Note how much time you spend on social media… reading non-work-related blogs… sitting in redundant meetings… socializing with co-workers. At home, track the time spent on reality television, gaming and lounging until noon on weekends. The record-keeping doesn’t have to be highly detailed… just estimate the amount of time spent for each activity not related to self-improvement, self-learning, helping others… or crossing an item or two off the bucket list. At the end of this exercise, I bet we’ll be amazed. I bet we’ll find tens, maybe hundreds, of hours spent in a manner we aren’t too proud of now. In my case, I could be using that wasted time to achieve my foreign language goal. Or I could read industry-related blog posts to increase my skills. I could participate in more Twitter Chats and strengthen my network and my personal brand. There are plenty of online courses I could take in about an hour a day. In short… instead of whatever it is I’ll find I was wasting time on… I could follow Mr. Lincoln’s advice, and hustle. For those of you who take up this challenge, come back to this post and tell everyone how much time you found for yourself… time that you could now re-focus much more productively. Let us know what life-satisfying activity you’re now going to assign to those previously wasted hours. I believe “Honest Abe” was right, that to those who hustle come the best things in life. I’m going to find out how much time I get back, that I can re-direct toward improving my life. I’m going to add more hustle… and perhaps find even more time for burritos, too. (Sorry, Tosh).

Go On Job Interviews to Get Started With Your Job Search - Hallie Crawford

Go On Job Interviews to Get Started With Your Job Search When I start the coaching process with a new client, I am often asked, “when can I start applying for new jobs and looking for new opportunities?” I typically ask them to wait a few weeks until we’ve gotten into the meat of our ideal career program, but tell them they don’t have to wait very long. Looking for job openings in your possible new field of interest will help you learn about the industry and what is out there. This will give you momentum and get you back in the job search mode. Even going on interviews will help you discover what you like and dislike about the fields you’re looking into. Getting started with you job search can give you clarity about your direction. It can also make you feel better because you’re taking action, and not just thinking about it. When you find positions that look appealing to you, it can give you hope that something better is out there for you. I’ve had this happen to many of my clients. They come back to a coaching session with job openings they’re excited about and it makes a dramatic difference in their job search. They can see that there are jobs out there they would enjoy. I’m not suggesting that you go on interviews for jobs that you’re not interested in, wasting everybody’s time. I’m suggesting going on interviews for jobs you think you are interested in, even if you’re not 100% sure. The important thing to know is, you don’t have to wait until you’re 100% clear on your career direction before going on job interviews. Job interviewing is a way to help clarify if a job is a fit for you, and it gives you job interviewing practice if nothing else. It is better to have several job interviews under your belt before you’re interviewing for your dream job. You’ll be better prepared and more confident. Atlanta Career Coach

5 Statement Errors People Often Make When Writing Resumes

5 Statement Errors People Often Make When Writing ResumesWhich of the following statements about resume writing style is not accurate to apply. Well, here is what I have gathered out of the several mistakes people usually make when writing resumes. Not all resume writers make these mistakes but here is what I know that works best in this regard.Having different format. As mentioned before, an applicant is looking for a particular work experience, educational attainment, and professional awards. Making the same statement about resume writing style is not accurate to make that statement. It is true that we all have different ideas and needs but the applicant also wants to know your resume has one objective: he should like you as a person. Make sure you emphasize on his qualifications.Appearing too opinionated. As an applicant, you are probably very confused at times by some unknown facts about yourself. However, being overly critical and judgmental on yourself may create your interview er looks off. You are hired to do a job not to be critical and judgmental. Avoid appearing judgmental because it can make you seem less likable and the employer will not want that.Past employment only. Remember, everyone has their own life story and past employment. A resume must highlight why you are better than any applicant who applies for the job.Resumes can be great or terrible depending on what you put into them. If you are not very specific about your qualifications then it can be easy to skip this part of your resume and not get noticed.Misapplying statements. Some employers take the negative, negative statements about the applicant's skills and experience and disqualify them. The good news is that you don't need to include statements like that; you just need to make sure the information is there and the resume stands out.Statements like these are just simple words that you can add your own feel into. Regardless if you believe in the 'applicant first' mentality or not, it is up to you to make sure your resume has everything in the application.

This Map Shows Where Millennials Really Make the Most Money

This Map Shows Where Millennials Really Make the Most Money For many Americans, the years in your 20s and early 30s are a time to pull up stakes and head off someplace new â€" where, with luck, you’ll make your fortune. But where to go? For ambitious millennials, the first places that pop to mind could be California or New York, where industries like Hollywood, tech and finance seem to mint 20-something millionaires overnight. And if fame or tycoon-style riches are really what you’re after, that’s probably still your best bet. But most of Americans aren’t after those things at all. What they actually want is a solid income â€" and a comfortable life. And if that’s what you’re seeking, your perfect place may be completely different. To get a sense of which states offer young workers the best prospects now, we pulled the most recent Census data showing median household earnings for the age cohort that most closely aligns with the millennial generation â€" ages 25 to 44. Overall, it showed what you might expect. The District of Columbia â€" with a median income of more than $87,200 â€" topped the list. Other coastal states like Massachusetts ($86,600), Washington ($74,300), California ($71,900), and New York ($71,200) weren’t far behind. The problem is, these places can be expensive to live. Sometimes insanely so. Earning $70,000 or more doesn’t seem that great when the median home price is more than $500,000. So to better account for the cost of living â€" and get a real sense of which states offer millennials the best economic prospects â€" we used the Bureau of Economic Analysis’s regional price parity calculations to adjust those state-by-state earnings numbers. As you can see when you scroll over our map, above, the places where millennials actually achieve a higher standard of living are a lot different than the initial set. While young workers in some coastal states like Massachusetts and Virginia remain among the best off, those in places like New York and California fall far behind. Meanwhile, young people living in places like the Dakotas and Wyoming â€" inexpensive areas that have been benefited from a decade-long energy job boom â€" seem rich by comparison.
