  Making an Appt. With Yourself

  I've done some of this in the past and not only does it give you some insight into what you're REALLY doing, it prepares you for discussions with your management as well. You're thoughts are clear and cogent and you can make some real progress to tackle issues that may be making you less effective or areas where you need a little support to help pave the way.

  RE: Should You Schedule an Appointment With Yourself?

  What strikes me most about the five questions to ask in my appointment with myself is that they focus not on the usual New Year's resolution format of plotting a new course, but rather on correcting the course that I have (presumably) already laid out -- a subtle but powerful distinction. It requires a discerning look backwards as a first step, thereby equipping me to move forward with the benefit of past experience firmly in mind.
  
  I value this approach and will willingly schedule time with myself to ponder the insights that emerge.

  To schedule an appointment with ourself is need of the hour because it enables us to know where we are. This will also facilitate in learning more and more. And learning is the only way to keep growing.

  This is not a totally new concept, as it runs parallel toward putting your business plan down in writing.
  
  Achieving personal goals toward time management and family quality events is no less important than being successful at work.
  Write down the incremental steps toward your goals in pencil. You should be flexible for life's curveballs.
  
  Conduct a little research in this endeavor, and you will create time with a higher quality of life.

  I do it all the time.... It does help - then you start to ignore those appointments cos you know they're just with yourself so you won't offend anyone else. But it helps much better than not doing it at all. I'm just saying don't expect miracles that's all.
