The one constant that is shared among EVERYONE is time. Unfortunately, what we also share is tendencies to mismanage our time... perhaps even waste our time. For example, assignments get pushed back, promises get broken, chores get forgotten, and we tend to do that which is most pressing to us right now. In an effort to improve our effectiveness and reduce the stresses in many areas of our life, we have to be able to manage our time. Time management does not mean we must schedule every moment of everyday. Time management merely means we need to make ourselves aware of what we are doing, when we are doing them, and for how long we are doing them. Once we clearly see how we spend our days, our excuse of "I didn't have time" will undoubtedly fade away.
