Time

"Dost thou love life?
Then do not squander time,
For that is the stuff life is made of."
-Benjamin Franklin

Ways You Can Save Time
by Alan Lakein, an Authority on Time Management

Try to find a new technique every day that will help you gain time.

Plan your schedule the first thing in the morning, and set priorities for the day. Make a list and tick off the important items first.

Have a light lunch so you don't get sleepy in the afternoon.

Consult your list of lifetime goals once a month, and revise them if necessary. Identify activities that you can do each day that will further your goals.

Carry blank index cards to jot down notes and ideas.

Delegate everything you possibly can to others. Use specialists to help with special problems.

Try not to work on weekends!

Give yourself time off as a special reward when you've accomplished important tasks.

Start with the most profitable parts of big projects.

Focus on projects that you are convinced will provide you with the greatest long-term benefits.

Examine old habits for possible streamlining.

Put "waiting time" to good use; relax, read, or do something else you wouldn't otherwise have done.

Don't waste time regretting failures, or feeling guilty about what you don't get done.

Remind yourself: "There is always enough time for the important things."
