One of the most useful tools I ever learned was to apply the rules of Time Management.

I first read ‘How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life’ by Alan Laken when I was 32. I still have that battered paperback copy, though its contents are in my head.  It has helped me achieve and reset higher, achieve and reset, at least five lifetime goals.

I have also attended a range of seminars in time management, bought audio tapes, and now I research on the internet when I want a refresher course.

Applying the principles I learned, assisted me in my creative profession and I continued studying this subject and teaching it and see it as a helpful life tool where the questions may not change but our answers like our goals are constantly evolving as we grow.

I reach stages where there is not enough time to complete what I want to be doing, so I ask, the most useful question I ever learned to ask myself:

‘What is the best use of my time ~ NOW’

 

"Wisdom is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use" Thomas John Watson (1874-1956), founder of IBM

By asking yourself Laken's question "What is the best use of my time right now?" and doing the task that best fills your time at that particular moment you will increase your overall efficiency.
