1. The Secret of Getting More Time
Every day, I hear people say ‚I wish I had more time‛. They run through from task to task and event to event at light speed, trying to find ways to accomplish more.
Few people seem to accomplish far more than others in their lifetime. Benjamin Franklin was a successful author, politician, scientist, philosopher, printer, inventor, activist, and diplomat. His accomplishments are astounding. He was a scientist known for his theories and discoveries and gained the recognition of fellow scientists and intellectuals. He was a political writer and activist, and served as a diplomat during the American Revolution. He was a newspaper editor, self published author. Post-Master General, and started the first American library. His credits go on and on. Benjamin Franklin is even credited for the statement; ‘Time is money.’ How did he find the when many people complained of ‚I don’t have enough time‛?
Time is the greatest resource you will have to accomplish everything in life. Whether you want to eat, play, sleep or carry out major projects; you need time.

Time affects moms and dads, infants and adults and the importance of time and life management is to create effectiveness in the ability of people to cut down the number of time they waste in carrying out unimportant tasks. Effective use of time will help you focus more on the things that matter most you. But sometimes, you discover that your effort to manage your priorities around your time is challenged by several conflicting time wasting activities.
Successful people maximize their time through planning. In just two hours of planning, you could free additional three to four hours of prime time every week.
Effective Time and Life Management is about behavioral change; learning how to spend more time acting instead of reacting. This is the core of this book; to help you become better organized and more productive, through efficient use of your time.
Both individuals and organizations are involved in time and life management crisis. The fact that most organizations and institutions do not have a time management program in place suggests that they do not feel that this is an issue that needs to be addressed.
However, nothing affects the ability of an organization to function and be productive more than the ability of its employees to use organizational skills in order to save time during the business day. Companies must take action in order to encourage their employees to become more skilled in organization and time management. Even if you are an extremely organized person, all of your efforts will be wasted if your employees and the people you are leading are not picking up where you leave off. There are several things you can do as a leader, entrepreneur, parent or manager to encourage your team become more efficient managers of
