As I sit at my desk planning out the beginning of the rest f my life, I start to realize how important time management is in order to attain the level of success I am striving for. I constantly find myself saying “I wish there were more hours in the day” when in fact I don’t really need more hours in a day. I just need to buckle down and stop operating on “CPT”. For those of you reading this that are aspiring actors, artists, musicians, serial killers (whatever your taste), this is most important for you…..manage your time!! Stop blaming other entities/people for being the reason on why you can’t succeed in this area. Here are some tips (that I should follow myself) to get you going on the right path:

- Buy a Blackberry (iPhones suck): Use the calendar feature…adhere to the calendar. DO NOT hit snooze on your events, they will never get done.
- Turn off the TV: Seriously, is last night’s episode of Idol that important? Will it help you in your career in any way, shape, or form?
- Schedule time for some free time: Schedule a day (or several hours) to do nothing. That’s right, do nothing or whatever you like to do in your leisure. The importance of this free day is to slack-off on scheduled slack-off time and not when you’re supposed to be working on your craft.
- Get 5-7 hours of sleep: Ok….if you need 8, then take 8. Anything more than that can be done once your dead. Anything less than 5 will have you trying to use your car key as a pencil (yes, braindead).
- Take care of all boring personal matters at your boring day job: The author of this article does not promote the abuse of the regular work week hours of your employer (wink, wink).
- Read my blog (shameless plug): It saves you time from scouring the net for all the fresh stuff.

Those should get you (and me) started, until next time my fresh nerds…….
