I asked Mark the following questions:

1. What do you do as a “Time Freedom” coach? And how did you get into this?

2. Do you agree that the very successful people in the world base their lives around activity/productivity rather than time?

3. Do you think we should all get rid of watches/clocks?

4. Would you suggest that placing a value on things that have to be done… not as in prioritizing but attaching a value to a task might give you more reason to complete it? And how would you suggest going about that?

5. With regards to your weight loss approach – what aspects of your approach do you think others in the same situation (e.g. weight loss or other health goal) would find useful?

6. What are your top 3 tips for somebody who struggles to complete tasks due to “poor time management”?

Some excellent answers & real gems in there (especially towards the end) which will help you “get things done”…

If I can, I’ll get get the new VA at some point to transcribe the call too.

ps. apologies for the garbled intro – I’d been having some technical difficulties getting on to the call & also for the rather heavy breathing from me (I was using skype and think my mic was too close).

So, if you have any questions you’d like me to ask Mark about time management, getting thngs done etc., then post me a comment on the blog and I’ll see what I can do.

We’re on the Caribbean-side of Panama for 5 days in a lovely place called Bocas del Toro – Panama’s very own group of Caribbean islands. It’s gorgeous – idyllic and peaceful – and it’s where several countries have filmed their "Survivor" series.

There’s not much to do around here except relax so that’s what we’re doing…in between some small bouts of activity such as pootling round the hotel’s "pool" (ocean), strolling along the road to find a cafe we haven’t yet visited (there aren’t many so it’s not hard!) and choosing where to go for dinner. We had a super-strenuous day yesterday when we went out on a boat trip to Bird Island and got stalked by a barracuda.

But…back to the point of the post – no, it wasn’t seeing what a beautiful place we’re currently in, whilst coping with the snow back in the UK ;-)…the treat I have in store is a short interview with Mark Forster.

Mark – the guru of time management & author of some excellent books, including his latest Do It Tomorrow and Other Secrets of Time Management – has very kindly agreed to let me interview him so I’ll be posting a recording of that interview here on the blog when it’s done.

Not sure when yet – have to schedule our chat in but it’ll be coming soon…so watch this space!
