Take charge of your time

 

1/3 sleep 1/3 work 1/3 recreation

    • Delegate
  • Can’t say no – don’t make spur of the moment decisions
  • Don’t know how to interrupt
  • Dulling sensation – killing sensation kills time
  • Television
  • Using prime time for second rate tasks

  • Staying up late
