Stop Wasting Time

Stop Wasting Time



Life is often what happens to you along the way when you have planned otherwise because there are time wasters out there to throw you off the track. Your performance may not always match your intentions. To help you to increase your productivity each and every day, both on and off the job, here are five easy tips to overcome the major time wasters to help you to stop wasting time.

Plan your day. Set aside time each night for Daily Planning, a time for you to take control of your most important asset, the next twenty-four hours. Create a To Do list with all the things you "have to" do and, more importantly, all the things you "want to" do. Don't be afraid of putting down too much. A project tends to expand with the time available for it. If you give yourself one thing to do, it will take you all day. If you give yourself two things to do, you will get them both done. If you give yourself twelve things to do, you may not get all twelve done, but you'll get eight or nine done. Having a lot to do creates a healthy sense of pressure on us to get things done. Prioritize this list. Put the number "1" next to the most important item, "2" beside the next most important item, the number "3" beside the third most important item, etc. People ask me a lot, "Do you do Daily Planning every day?" I reply, "Only if I want to have a good day."

Control procrastination. The easiest way to avoid procrastination in your day is to do the Daily Planning each day. Without a plan of action to direct you, you are often drawn to the things that are easier or to the most urgent items that may not be the most important use of your time. You can easily get caught up in "stuff", wasting time majoring in the minor things, spending your day wheel spinning in the unimportant areas while the important things get put off.

Avoid interruptions. A problem that is well defined is mostly solved. To define your interruptions situation to permit you to take some preventive actions, run an Interruptions Log. On a pad of paper, log in interruptions as they occur over a few days. Put down who brings them to you, how long each interruption lasts, and whether or not they were valuable or of no value. Once you accumulate your data, get the most frequent interrupters who bring the interruptions with no value to change their actions and agree to not bring as many low value interruptions to you in the future.

Delegate it. If you had unlimited amounts of time, you could do everything yourself, but you don't. Each week has but 168 hours to get all you need and want to do. I review every item on my To Do list each night in Daily Planning and ask, "Is this the best use of my time?" If it is, I will plan to do it myself and if it's not, I will try to find a way to delegate it to free up my time for something more valuable. There is a lot of difference between, "I do it", and "It gets done". Sure, it's great to do a variety of things but you have to be sure that your scarce resource is always being spent in the most productive way.


Manage meetings. Before you commit to attend a meeting with another or with a group, ask yourself two questions. First, "Is it necessary?" Sometimes we go to a meeting solely because we have been invited or because we have always gone out of habit without ascertaining whether or not it truly is necessary. Second, ask yourself, "Am I necessary?" Perhaps the meeting is important but if you don' t contribute anything to it or if you don't get anything from it, try to find a way to excuse yourself from attending all or a portion of the meeting.

Top Five Time Management Mistakes

Top Five Time Management Mistakes

Time management is not necessarily working "harder", but rather, "smarter."  And to accomplish significantly more in our days, we need not increase our efforts. As an example, in a horse race, the first horse may earn a $50,000 purse and the second horse may earn a $25,000 purse. The first horse gets twice as much money as the second horse, not because it ran twice as far or twice as fast. It was only a "nose ahead" of the competition.

So it is with our daily results. We need not run twice as fast or put in twice the effort to significantly increase our daily success. We only need to be a "nose ahead" of where we already are. We are all productive in our days. We would not survive the demands of this world if we were not. The real challenge is how much more productive can we become?

And, a lot of our time management has to do with more of what we are not doing rather than what we are doing. Sometimes our mistakes and omissions will keep us from running at a full pace. Here are the Top Five Time Management Mistakes we should all avoid to help us to increase our daily success both on and off the job, in less time and with less stress.

1. Start your day without a plan of action. You will begin your day by responding to the loudest voice (the squeaky wheel gets the grease) and spend it in a defensive mode, responding to other people's and events' demands. The tail will wag the dog. If there is a void of leadership in your time management life, someone will fill that void, not that others are bad people, but others will take all of your time if you let them. You will have worked hard but may not have done enough of right things. Time Management is not doing the wrong things quicker. That just gets us nowhere faster. Time Management is doing the right things.

2. Get out of balance in your life. Our lives are made up of Seven Vital Areas: Health, Family, Financial, Intellectual, Social, Professional, and Spiritual. We will not necessarily spend time every day in each area or equal amounts of time in each area. But if in the long run, we spend a sufficient quantity and quality of time in each area, our lives will be in balance. But if we neglect any one area, never mind two or three, we will eventually sabotage our success. Much like a table, if one leg is longer than the rest, it will make the entire table wobbly. If we don't take time for health, our family life and social life are hurt. If our financial area is out of balance, we will not be able to focus adequately on our professional goals, etc.

3. Work with a messy desk or work area. Studies have shown that the person who works with a messy desk spends, on average, one and a half hours per day looking for things or being distracted by things. That's seven and a half hours per week. ("Out of sight-out of mind." And the reverse of that is true too, "In sight, in mind"). And, it's not a solid block of an hour and a half, but a minute here and a minute there, and like a leaky hot water faucet, drip, drip, drip, it doesn't seem like a major loss, but at the end the day, we're dumping gallons of hot water down the drain that we are paying to heat. If you have ever visited the office of a top manager, typically, that person is working with a clean desk environment. Many would attribute this practice to that person's access to other staff members. While there may be some truth in that conclusion, in most cases, if we went back some years in that person's career, they probably were working with a clean desk back then which gave them the focus they needed to become promoted to where they are today.

4. Don't get enough sleep. Studies show that nearly 75% of us complain on a regular basis, all throughout our days, that we are flat-out tired. For most people, they get the quantity of sleep, but they lack the quality of sleep. Their days are filled with so much stress, they are out of control, working harder but maybe not smarter, that it's difficult to get a full night's sleep. (For some, they simply do not allow for a sufficient quantity of sleep.) If you will plan your day, then work your plan, you will get more done, feel a higher sense of accomplishment, and experience less stress and enjoy a more restful night's sleep.

5. Don't take a lunch break. Many do not take a lunch break, working through that time period in the hopes that it will give them more time to produce results. Studies have shown it may work just the opposite. After doing what we do for several hours, we start to "dull out." Sure, we can work through lunch and be productive, but that is not the issue. The issue is "how much more" productive we can be. A lunch break, even a short fifteen minute break, gives us a chance to get our batteries all charged up again to more effectively handle the afternoon's challenges. We are then less likely to procrastinate a few of those difficult tasks that, in the long run, will make a positive difference in our personal productivity.

SPSS is capable of handling large amounts of  data and can perform all of the analyses covered in the text and much more. SPSS is  commonly used in the Social Sciences and in the business world, so familiarity with this  program should serve you well in the future.  SPSS is updated often. This document was  written around an earlier version, but the differences should not cause any problems. If  you want to go further and learn much more about SPSS, I strongly recommend Andy  Field’s book (Field, 2009, Discovering statistics using SPSS). Those of us who have used  software for years think that we know it all and don’t pay a lot of attention to new 
features. I learned a huge amount from Andy’s book.

Political Environment (Chapter 4)

Political Environment (Chapter 4)

PURPOSE OF CHAPTER

Whether political interests precede or follow economic interests is debatable, but certainly the two are
closely interrelated. A country or company may play politics in order to pursue its economic interests, but economic means may also be used to achieve political objectives. As in the case of the steel industry, President Bush imposed the tariffs in 2002, ranging from 8 percent to 30 percent, on foreign-made steel so as to give the domestic industry time to regroup to become more competitive. Even after the WTO’s ruling that the tariffs violated global trade laws, Bush’s political advisers did not want to remove the tariffs because it could harm his chance of winning re-election in such steel-making states as Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.

Often, politics and economics do not mix well. For a very long time, the USA imposed economic censure against Vietnam. While the economic sanction was achieving the desired goal of adversely affecting international investment and trade with Vietnam, Asian and European companies took advantage of the absence of American firms and entered the market. 
Vietnam is an attractive market – not only for its market size and natural resources, but also because of other economic reasons. Vietnam welcomes foreign investment in all economic sectors (except defense industries), offers generous tax concessions and duty exemptions, allows 100 percent foreign ownership, imposes no minimum capital requirement, and promises the unrestricted repatriation of capital and profits. In addition, the political climate has greatly improved. The US government finally permitted American companies to enter the Vietnamese market in the mid-1990s.

Trade Distortion and Marketing Barriers (Chapter 3)

Trade Distortion and Marketing Barriers (Chapter 3)
Free trade makes a great deal of sense theoretically because it increases efficiency and economic welfare for all involved nations and their citizens. South Korea’s trade barriers, however, do not represent an isolated case. In practice, free trade is woefully ignored by virtually all countries. Despite the advantages, nations are inclined to discourage free trade.
This chapter catalogs the types and impact of trade and marketing barriers. It examines trade restrictions and the rationale, if any, behind them. By understanding these barriers, marketers should be in a better position to cope with them. It would be impossible to list all marketing barriers because they are simply too numerous. Furthermore, governments are forever creating new import restrictions or adjusting the ones currently in use. For purposes of study, marketing barriers may be divided into two basic categories: tariffs and non tariff barriers. Figure 3.1 on p. 54 provides details of this division.
Trade Distortion and Marketing Barriers (Chapter 3)

Trade Theories and Economic Development (Chapter 2)

Trade Theories and Economic Development (Chapter 2)
The case of Botswana illustrates the necessity of trading. Botswana must import in order to survive, and it must export in order to earn funds to meet its import needs. Botswana’s import and export needs are readily apparent; not so obvious is the need for other countries to do the same. There must be a logical explanation for well-endowed countries to continue to trade with other nations.
This chapter explains the rationale for international trade and examines the principles of absolute advantage and relative advantage. These principles describe what and how nations can make gains from each other. The validity of these principles is discussed, as well as concepts that are refinements of these principles. The chapter also includes a discussion of factor endowment and competitive advantage. Finally, it  concludes with a discussion of regional integration and its impact on international trade.

Nature of International Marketing (Chapter 1)

Nature of International Marketing
This chapter addresses the who, what, why, and how of international marketing by giving an overview of the nature of international business. The discussion begins with an examination of how marketing in general is defined and how that definition works for international marketing. The chapter examines the criteria that determine when a company has successfully transformed itself into a multinational firm. To dispel some popularly held misconceptions, there is an explicit treatment of the benefits of international trade
