The Importance Of Making Appointments And Keeping Them – 6 Powerful Quotes

You may not mind if you spend all day in the office entertaining people who come when they feel like it. These can be clients, suppliers, friends and colleagues. You may not have a choice because your day is unstructured. What about at home, when you want to spend quality time with family, loved ones or a loved one? It can be quite disturbing because if you are a busy person like me who enjoys even the time of having nothing on my schedule except rest so that I don’t have some kind of order in life that determines who sees you and who you see. Appointments are important and have many benefits. I share some useful nuggets in this article.

1. Some people don’t have time for order and may not even own a journal to record all their commitments, so yes to everything and everyone only to disappoint most if not all for lack of order.

2. It is important to make appointments because it saves time and money in the process. You would have set aside and allocated that time to a specific meeting or activity allowing good management of the resource called time.

3. A person who manages their time through appointments, thereby controlling access, ultimately manages their life. You cannot manage life without managing time.

4. Making sure you reserve valuable time for someone who is available is crucial to your success. Imagine a salesperson calling people who aren’t available all day because he didn’t make arrangements to see them.

5. Making and keeping appointments shows the respect and honor you have for other people and shows that you don’t take them for granted.

6. You may not know who to make an appointment with. You can make appointments, be it business or personal, or even sometimes with yourself.

You can dramatically improve your productivity if you develop the discipline of making appointments and scheduling and sticking to the times you’ve allotted for those specific activities. Create order and structure in your life. I have found that those who are busy and keep a journal always dictate the level of access to them. It is also true that you have to fit into their schedule because they are organized and prioritized. Make appointments, starting today and I’ll see you at the top.
