Time Management
Time only exists because otherwise everything would happen at once.
Albert Einstein.
365 days contains 8760 hours
2555 hours of sleep at 7 hours per night
1900 hours of work in a working day of 8 hours
That leaves 4305 hours
An average of 82 hours per week
(of which there are many spending those in front of the TV)
No time? Sleep an hour shorter, 6 hours is enough
Spent these extra 365 hours qualitatively and with care.
We have never had so much Leisure.
Spend 80% of your time focusing on the opportunities of tomorrow rather than the problems of yesterday ~ ~ Eleanor Rooseveldt

Yep, yours is direct. He cannot be faulted. But who says that is wrong. Sometimes tact is graceful, but there are a number of us who appreciate the direct approach such as yours. I certainly do, though it's not my style. I love to see it in practice.
Time management is important, but energy management is the most important. I use a time-tracking app to see where my day went and how much time I invested into various tasks, but I also don't hesitate to grab a nap if I need one, or take a break to go to the gym. Rest and recovery is the most crucial aspect of productivity.
2 hours of laser-focus, high energy productivity is far better than an 8 hour day filled with the blahs, so rest if you need it, and spend most of your leisure time doing things that are renewing and beneficial. Reading is an especially great leisure activity, as it stimulate the mind and promotes creativity and inspiration. I find that the more content I ingest, the more I have to say, and the easier it is to write, which as well know...is the single-most-important part of being successful in IM.
But, still...I do wish each day had maybe an extra 2 hours in there. ;) And they each seem to pass so much quicker the older I get. :(
Pffft...hardly. ;) But I'm always trying to improve. :)
Thanks for the thought-provoking post btw!
Time management is so important. I know I get a lot more accomplished when I effectively manage my time.
