Time Management : Proven Techniques for Making the Most of Your Valuable Time

For anyone serious about success and self improvement the ability to communicate effectively is one of the most essential skills to develop.

What is communication? One dictionary describes communication as “the imparting or exchange of information, ideas, or feelings”.

Some people envy those who have the ‘gift of the gab’ and always seem to be the centre of attention. However, this does not mean that good talkers are good communicators; in fact they are often just the opposite.

Good communication is much more than having the ability to talk eloquently. It’s also much more than being able to convince people to your point of view. These are certainly useful qualities, particularly if you work in sales, and most of us have to sell in one way or another, whether we realise it or not, even if it’s only selling ourselves.

But there’s a lot more to it to it than that. One essential part of communication is the ability to make yourself understood. But if there is one single thing that that will make you a better communicator, it’s to make more of an effort to really listen and understand others first, rather than to make yourself heard and understood.

Despite what many people may think, good communication is not all about concentrating on getting across our own points of view and opinions. It has been said that we were given two ears and one mouth for good reason and that we should spend at least twice as much time listening as talking when communicating.

When engaged in conversation, it is very easy to pay little attention to what the other person is actually saying. We can become easily distracted by countless other thoughts and things happening around us, or thinking about what we are going to say next. Our brains are able to process information much more quickly than the speed of even the fastest talker, so it’s easy for other things to fill the spaces and detract from what the other person is saying.

The most basic – and important – of all communication skills is the ability to listen impartially, to try to absorb the essence of what the other person is saying, and to really understand their point of view. We must be non-judgemental and really work at appreciating what the other person is feeling and thinking. This can also be different to what they are actually saying, often unintentionally. Spoken words can make up less than 20% of what anyone is really expressing, so paying attention to overall body language and working on forming a full picture is vital to good communication.

If you’re unsure exactly what the other person means, ask for clarification. Don’t be afraid to repeat what has been said. This is almost a prerequisite in business meetings and negotiations, but it can also work in many different situations. This also shows that we have been listening and want to understand.

One of the greatest compliments we can give anyone is to really listen and make the effort to understand and appreciate their viewpoint and feelings.

If you think about the people that you have most enjoyed spending time with in your life, it’s likely that they will have been people who you felt you could easily be yourself and relax with. They were almost certainly good listeners. You may not even remember a great deal about your conversations, but you will remember how they made you feel.

Like most skills, we can learn to communicate and listen better if we really want to. Just being aware of the importance of effective listening, and how easy it is to be a poor listener is a start. There are also many communication specialists who can offer much more detailed guidance and help.

Most people aren’t good listeners, and working on more effective listening and communication can make a great difference to our lives. These are the skills that will help immeasurably in our professional lives, make us better friends and partners, and enhance our overall success, growth and happiness.

Time Management In an Instant: 60 Ways to Make the Most of Your Day

Weblogs or Blogs are interactive dynamic communication tools, in the online world. Whatever a blogger posts is published instantly. Blogs can be updated whenever you want and as often as you want. Blogs are distinct from other types of online writing in that they follow an informal style in their expression. Anyone can keep a blog. Earlier, blogs were not taken very seriously and were considered of not much use, but now they are a force to reckon with, considering the different ways in which they are being used. Even US Presidential Candidates are using blogs to communicate in their campaign strategy. Anyone can maintain a blog.

Purposes Of Blogging

In the blogosphere or the blogging world, there are different kinds of bloggers – personal, business, organizational and one step ahead – professional blogger.

Personal blogs are like journals or diaries. It could be focused on a topic that the blogger is interested in or just record whatever the blogger feels about, like a personal diary. The aim of organizational blogging is internal communication within the institution. Colleges may maintain a blog to talk to their students; companies may talk to their employees and customers. The unique thing here is that uniformity of message is maintained, with no scope for misinterpretation. Professional bloggers do it for money. Blogging is a lucrative career and many organizations hire bloggers to write for them. These people bring in fresh ideas. They also maintain blogs about a particular industry when hired by a network.

Business Blogs – Effective PR

Business blogs are informal and useful for connecting with customers. The main advantage is that it is easy to maintain and it gives the company a chance to be in regular touch with its staff as well as customers. It’s an ideal way to reach information about product promotions, accomplishments and new systems. Many successful blogs hardly use any advertising. Instead they include relevant comments and information that its readers can use.

These days, practically every company of repute has a blog incorporated into its website. And these companies also motivate their employees to blog, promoting freedom of expression. A company can market itself through its blog in several ways. Some of them are:
– Blogs humanize a company, and this enhances its image on its website.
– Company values and opinions can be expressed through blogs. This brings in a regular set of readers who can directly respond on the site.
– Also, if the company’s blog is picked up by, say Google, it gets wide publicity. Blogs are permanent so even if you go deleting a post, they will be archived somewhere. So companies usually ensure that proper guidelines are given to employees so that they are careful about what they post.
– It is easy to get competition information by browsing other companies’ blogs.
– Blogs have ever-changing content. And since readers are aware of this, they enjoy visiting the blog frequently to keep up to date with what’s going on.

When Employees Blog

As mentioned earlier, companies allow their employees to blog. But they must be careful about revealing company information that could be confidential or copyrighted. In an informal environment it is very easy to be expressive. The Pew Internet & American Life Project conducted two surveys in November 2004, and this study shows that even in 2004, at least 12 % of Internet users posted comments on blogs. Which means that with the traffic flowing to the website, bloggers must exercise caution about what they want to say.

Information Exchange

With the evolution of blogging as a serious form of publicity, audio and video blogging have also become popular, with technological advances.
Blogging has swept the online marketing world by storm. Companies in the PR business are using blogging for their clients.
