168 Reasons to Manage Yourself:

168 Reasons may seem like a daunting list but let me assure you it is much easier than that. There are 168 hours a week. Now, my point is this,do you know how you are spending those 168 hours weekly?


If you don't, you'll find it hard to make the necessary changes to your schedule that will make the difference between mediocre and exceptional..


Starting this week, take a notepad or at least a piece of scratch paper and start taking inventory on your time. How much do you sleep? Groom yourself? Eat? Travel? Play? Do Chores? Work? Socialize?


Keep adding to your list for a week then add up your totals. You may be surprised at what you find.


It is critical to your success and fulfillment that you take your time very seriously. Time is really the one commodity in life you can't negotiate for very much. You can regain your health, your wealth, often even a lost love, but you can't recover a single second.


How many times have you wanted to really get your life in gear but said you didn't have the time? Now you'll know if you really do or not? If you have hours being wasted on things that don't serve your goals, can you blame anyone but yourself if you don't accomplish them?
Honor yourself by learning to honor your time. You'll be glad you did!"
