Time management is what it’s all about, isn’t it!
Thanks so much, Jaqueline, for a very valuable reminder!
@Steve Vernon,
Sir Steve, your comment made me think of a quote I once read ~ can’t for the life of me remember who said it! ~ but it was basically that one cannot manage time since we all get the same 24 hours in a day, but one can only manage oneself and the time will take care of itself.
I think that being AWARE of time and how you use it (ie Self-management) is the key to productivity.
And of course, if that productivity is in alignment with your dreams/goals, you’re going to see the manifestations you’re looking for that much quicker.
So glad you dropped by!
Goddess Jacqui,
Love it! I absolutely understand what you’ve gone through. It’s so easy to get caught up in connecting with others, you aren’t working on the business.
Good for you on accomplishing your goal!

Goddess you have hit the nail on the head; time management and productivity! This is an area almost everyone needs help and reminders about! Thank you for always seeming to know what area I need an ever so gentle push! I can always count on you!

Such great Suggestions and it reminded me what I could do more in getting more balanced when it comes to Facebook time. Oh, and I forgot to tell you , on the Facebook comments of this Post, Congratulations on the e-book and all the other things that your Facebook Diet helped you to accomplish !!!!
Love the post, controlling your time is so important.

@Bill Hartman,
Thanks, Bill. Time is really the only non-renewable resource we have, isn’t it?
I have often found myself loosing hours on facebook, and even though I’ve met great people, I haven’t actually done anything productive. I’ve been trying to limit my time there as well, or at least make myself finish the day’s task before I get onto facebook.
Congrats on all that you’ve been able to accomplish! I look forward to getting your ebook when it’s finished because I know that it will be wonderful

This is good Jacqueline. It is so easy to let Social Media take over your time. Thanks for this reminder to set limits.
I look forward to your e-book.

Very much appreciated the message of your video. I’ve actually put my kids on a “Facebook Diet” of 30 min per day max. Things were just getting out of hand with how much time they were wasting.
Personally, I list the top 3 to 5 tasks I must accomplish each day to keep me focused on what I must achieve to get me closer to my goals that day.
This has worked wonders for me and like you, I feel so much more in control of my time!

I couldn’t agree more! If you don’t watch it, FB and Twitter can just take your day up without even noticing, and at times, you haven’t even done what you’re suppose to be doing there, and that is, to market your product, lol! Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of automating on the backend so I’m able to market without actually me in there, and then, whatetever little time I allocate for building relationships and connecting, I can actually use for that sole purpose. It’s turning out really great, though, at first, I had to spend time setting up the automation.
But you’re totally right, Goddess. I see people who are just on twitter all day chatting, then wonder why their business is not really taking off. Great post, as usual

Hi Goddess Jacqueline,
I appreciate so much what you have said here. I also faced this problem. I was spending way too much time online and had to regain control.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Hey the Goddess know as QUEEN Jacqueline,
Thanks so much for this insight. It is so easy for people to spend too much unproductive time online on Facebook and Twitter etc. For me it starts with a disciplined plan and purpose for what I am doing to help me keep a balance…. Sometimes I get a bit out of line though LOL!
Make it a great day!
God Bless,

And you, Sir Edward, are an inspiring example of the results of ‘disciplined planning and purpose.
You are so right! Although I don’t need to loose any pounds, time management when it comes to networking is something I can really take charge of!

PS I love to listen to your accent!

I don’t walk in my office anymore without a list of things that I want to accomplish or else I will fritter away all my time doing nothing; on Facebook especially. I also have an egg timer but don’t use it much. The affirmation staring me in the face is “My goals are clearly Outlined before I enter my office each day.” Right now I am goofing off but it is 10:00 at night and I can do that, right? Thanks for the great content.
So glad you ‘goofed off’ here on my blog! And this goddess is going to take your tip of making sure I have a list of action items Before the day begins!
Nice to meet you, goddess Nicole!
This may be an old post, but the message is timely! I am learning to maximize my time, and spend it only where it will really help my business move forward.
Facebook Diet… love the analogy!

Thank you for posting this.
Sorry it took me a year to find, but it was worth the time.
My friends and I chat about this very topic (usually on FB of course) and everyone seems to agree that FB is just the most current distraction, that 10, 20, however many years ago there was another thief r0bbing us of our needfully productive time.
Your point is clear and applicable to other Time Villains– stay focused, but don’t deprive yourself of what you enjoy.
Thank you again!
