How you spend your time shows your priorities. How you spend your time can affect your life. If you change how you spend your time, what you spend your time on, and who you are spending your time with, you can change your life. Time passes, and if you do not pay attention to time, you may suddenly wake up to a few years past. If you always pay attention to time, life may become dull. Remember, the clock is ticking, and we do not know how much time we have. We should also remember to enjoy time.
It seems like there are too many things to do and too little time. Too many books to read and so little time. So prioritize, pick the important, the urgent, the not important but urgent things, and try to delegate or eliminate the not urgent and not important. Learn to say no and also to say yes. We say no to protect our time and yes to spend our time. Be careful what you say no to and what you say yes to. One tool that has been particularly helpful for me is the Eisenhower Matrix . Eisenhower Farnam Street Eisenhower Matrix . These links are good reference material if you are planning to make your own Eisenhower matrix. The matrix was a tool that worked for me,it it important to choose a tool that you can use.
Why not spend some time alone? Why not be more considerate of how you spend your time? Why not spend some time doing nothing? How much time do you think you have? Why not start today, why not start now?
