I’ve been reading a lot about tips on time management over the past few months. It’s important to me to have good time management strategies in place; otherwise I tend to feel like my days slip away and I’m not quite sure where the time went. For some people, schedules and list making just comes naturally, for others, its a bit more of a challenge.

For those of you who, like me, have to work at creating structure, here’s a list of 12 reasons why things don’t get done. See if you recognize yourself in any of these points.

1. No clear goals
2. No priorities
3. No daily plan
4. Trying to do too much
5. Perfectionism
6. Disorganization
7. Poor decision making
8. Crisis management (too busy putting out fires)
9. Ineffective delegation
10. Interruptions
11. Meetings
12. Procrastination
