Efficient Time Management
Consider this: a day has only 24 hours, and each lost hour will never, never ever, come back. Therefore, my 20th commitment is to management my time more efficiently.
I read some books written by Donald Trump, and I am always fascinated how he writes about time and time management. Donald Trump writes in one of his books, that he goes to sleep around 1 at night, and he needs only 4 hours sleep per night. He calls it staying competitive, and staying ahead of competition.
Perhaps I need 6 hours sleep per night, perhaps I want to have a relaxing brunch at a Sunday morning, or go for a stroll in the park on a Saturday afternoon. Still, whatever I do, I try to do it with a benefit. I may want to spend quality time with my family, or bond with my friends. Perhaps I want to write a few posts for my blog, or have a coffee at Starbucks while I am reading the Financial Times. Or I could read a few pages while I am traveling to my work by train.
Absolute time killers, on the other side, are activities, which are spent out of complete boredom. These include watching sitcoms, or other shows or movies which are not truly educational or informative. Or think about staying in bed until noon during the weekend. I try to reduce such ‘time killers’ to an absolute minimum, so that I can work on myself, and the goals that I have set for myself.
