Excellent time management is a source of energy, enthusiasm, and a positive mental attitude.
2
Hello, I'm Brian Tracy and today I want to talk to you about four time management techniques
3
that can help change the quality of your life.
4
Time management behaviors are very much a matter of choice.
5
You choose to be efficient or you choose to be disorganized.
6
You choose to focus and concentrate on your highest value tasks, or you choose to spend your time on activities that contribute little value to your life.
7
You choose to be positive or you choose to be negative, and you're always free to choose your quality of life.
8
This is one of the most important lessons I ever learned.
9
The starting point of overcoming your previous programming and eliminating the mental blocks to time management
10
is for you to make a clear, unequivocal decision to become excellent at the way you use your time.
11
Everything follows from that.
12
You must decide right here and now
13
that you are going to become an expert in time management to improve your quality of life.
14
Your aim should be to manage your time so well
15
that people look up to you and use you as a role model for their own work habits.
16
Here are four time management tips that you can use to program yourself for peak performance to improve your entire life.
17
My first tip is to harness the power of positive affirmations.
18
Positivity will change your quality of life.
19
It is the first of those methods for programming your subconscious mind called positive self-talk,
20
or the use of positive affirmations.
21
Now these are commands that you pass from your conscious mind to your subconscious mind.
22
Positive affirmations are statements that you either say out loud
23
or you say to yourself to yourself with the emotion
24
and enthusiasm that drives the words into your subconscious mind as new operating instructions.
25
Begin by repeating positive affirmations over and over to yourself, such as, I am excellent at time management.
26
I am excellent at time management.
27
Or, I manage my time well.
28
I manage my time well.
29
Any command or positive affirmation repeated over and over in a spirit of faith,
30
acceptance, and belief will eventually be accepted by your subconscious mind as a command
31
and you'll begin to live in harmony and consistent with the command.
32
My favorite time management affirmation is, I use my time well, I use my time well, I use my time well.
33
When you repeat positive affirmations over and over, they're eventually accepted by your subconscious mind.
34
You will then find
35
that your external behaviors will start to reflect your internal programming to improve your work-life balance and quality of life.
36
One of the great miracles of success psychology is that you become what you say to yourself over and over again.
37
The second technique that you can use to program your subconscious mind is through visualization.
38
Mental pictures most immediately influence your subconscious mind.
39
In self-image psychology, the person you see is the person you will be on the outside through positive affirmations.
40
to see yourself as well-organized, efficient, and effective in time management.
41
Recall and recreate memories and pictures of yourself when you were performing at your best.
42
Think of a time when you were working efficiently and effectively and getting through an enormous amount of work.
43
Play this picture of yourself over and over again on the screen of your mind until it's accepted as your new reality.
44
The third time management method is simple.
45
First, you sit or lie in a quiet place where you can be completely alone in the silence.
46
Through positive affirmations, imagine yourself going through an important upcoming experience,
47
such as a meeting, a presentation, a negotiation, or even a date that would improve your work-life balance and your quality of life.
48
As you sit or lie completely relaxed, create a picture of the coming event and see it unfolding perfectly in every respect.
49
See yourself as calm, positive, happy, and in complete control.
50
See the other people doing and saying exactly what you would want them to do if the situation was perfect.
51
The fourth mental technique is to imagine that you are already excellent at time management.
52
Imagine that you have been selected for a role in a movie or stage play.
53
In this role, you are to act the part of a person who is extremely well organized in every respect.
54
As you go through your daily life, imagine that you are an actor who is playing this part, who is already very good at time management.
55
Act as if you are already using your time efficiently and well.
56
Pretend that you're an expert in personal efficiency and time management.
57
When you pretend that you are excellent in time management, eventually the action, which is under your direct control,
58
will develop the mindset or the belief in your subconscious mind of a highly efficient person.
59
Before we wrap up, I'd like to leave you with a thought to share with your friends and followers.
60
It is this, excellent time management is a source of energy, enthusiasm and a positive mental attitude.
61
Now, I love to hear from you.
62
So my question today is, how can you apply one of these techniques or maybe more than one to your life?
63

Pronunciación a tener en cuenta
El hablante usa 7 contracciones y formas reducidas, como you're, I'd, I'll. Dilas en su forma corta, tal como las oyes.
- Los sonidos de “sh” y “zh”: affirmation /æfɝˈmeɪʃn/, subconscious /sʌbˈkɑn.ʃəs/, visualization /ˌvɪʒ.ʊ.ə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/, transcription /tɹænˈskɹɪpʃən/, negotiation /nɪˌɡəʊ.ʃiˈeɪ.ʃən/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:
- /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: positivity /ˌpɑ.zɪˈtɪv.ɪ.ti/, unequivocal /ˌʌnɪˈkwɪvəkəl/, visualization /ˌvɪʒ.ʊ.ə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/
- /z/ — sonora, no /s/: enthusiasm /ɪnˈθuziæzəm/, organize /ˈɔɹɡənaɪz/, disorganized /dɪsˈɔːɡənaɪzd/, positivity /ˌpɑ.zɪˈtɪv.ɪ.ti/, visualization /ˌvɪʒ.ʊ.ə.laɪˈzeɪ.ʃən/
- /h/ — una aspiración suave, no la “j”: harness /ˈhɑɹ.nəs/, harmony /ˈhɑ̟ɹ.mə.ni/

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
