Ultimate Time Management 1 - Wasting Your Time is Wasting Your Life

Most people read time management books simply hoping to save some time and become more efficient somehow.  Now while that is a worthy goal it does not begin to describe the benefits time management can bestow upon you, if used properly.  It also misses out on what the primary goals of time management are, specifically, getting back huge chunks of your life.

One of my primary goals in creating this Time Management book was to help people do more in less time so they can free up time to spend with family, friends, doing fun activities, relaxing and enjoying "downtime" alone to rest and regenerate. If we can accomplish more in less time, we gain greater abundance, and more time to enjoy it – a winning combination if ever there was one!

The following quote sums up the concept I hope to get across: "Life is nothing but a measurement of time - you cannot waste one without losing the other."  I hope to ingrain in you the concept that time and life of the same thing - there is no difference!  Think about it, let it sink in and feel what that means.  Literally, when something or someone wastes a block of your time, they have in effect stolen  a chunk of your life that can never be retrieved.  Let me share with you another old quote that speaks to this: “What rich man, old and sick, feeble and helpless, would not exchange all the gold in his vault for the blessings you have treated so lightly?" We must protect our time as if we are protecting our life … because, in fact, we are. 

One of the greatest tragedies in life is to advance into old age, look back, and say “where did it all go?” I hope that you will learn to exchange each moment of your life only for something of value. As if you were pulling precious coins out of your pocket with the realization that once they are all gone – so are you. Treat your time and you life as precious and protect it from all the stealers of time.
