Managing time and life (from Harold L Taylor)

1. Avoid commettees. They tend to substitute talking for doing
2. Love people and use things, Don't ove things or you may end up using people
3. Take frequent breaks; the worker is always more important than the work
4. The pen may be mightier than the sword; but voice-activated software is faster
5. Doing something difficult today will make tomorow's burdens lighter

On time management lessons learned from experience :
1. It is more important to live time than to save time
2. Live is not measured in hours, minutes and second, but activities, events and happenings.
3. Don't be so obsessed with saving time that you overlook the reason for saving it.
4. If you are not careful, endlessly crossing off an item on a"to do" list can become the goal rather than the means.
5. Don't major in minor. lumps in your gravy are not the same as lumps in your breast.

SWORDS - Time management by Harold L Taylor

1. S for specific. Be as detailed as possible when describing what you want to accomplish.
2. W for written. Putting goals in writing tells your brain you are serious about your commitments.
3. O is for order. List your goals in order of importance and work on them accordingly.
4. R is for realistic. Consider the time, money and resources needed. Setting sights to high gives an excuse to quit.
5. D is for deadline. Deadlines add urgency and tell how much time must be scheduled each week.
6. S is for schedule. Achievement doesn't happen by chance. Schedule time to actually work on your goals.
