Listen to educational audio programs when you are traveling in your car. Today, virtually all of the finest information
and ideas that have ever been assembled in English, or in
any language, are available as audio recordings on CDs or
downloads to a smartphone or tablet.
The average commuter spends 500 to 1,000 hours per
year in the car. Thats twelve or twenty forty-hour weeks,
which is equivalent to one or two university semesters. This
means that you can get the benefit of almost full-time university attendance by simply turning traveling time into
learning time. If you are not listening to audio programs in
your car or when traveling, you are missing out on one of the
great learning opportunities that exist today
THE FINAL POINT about time management is the concept
of balance. The most important thing that you can instill in
your life is balance and moderation. By practicing the methods, ideas, and techniques in this book, you will become a
master time manager, and have more time for your family
and your personal life.
Often, people take time management programs so that
they can increase the number of things that they can do on
a day-to-day basis. However, as the wise man said, There is
more to life than simply increasing its speed.
The main purpose of learning and practicing time management skills is to enhance and improve the overall quality
of your life. It is to increase the amount of pleasure and happiness you experience. No matter how appropriate your job is for you, the quality of
your life is going to be largely determined by three things.
The first is the quality of your inner life: how well you get
along with yourself, how much you like yourself, and how
good you feel about your character and personality. Inner
development takes time and reflection, plus reading and
thinking about the great questions of life.
The second area is your health. No amount of success
will compensate for ill health. Take time to eat the right
foods, exercise regularly, and get proper rest and recreation.
Sometimes, the best use of your time is to go to bed early
and get a good nights sleep.
Finally, and most important of all, take time for your
relationships. The people you care about and who care
about you are the most critical factors in your life. Never
allow yourself to get so caught up in your work that you
ignore the primacy of those key relationships with your
spouse, children, and close friends.
A great life is one that is in balance. If you spend
sufficient time preserving and enhancing the quality of your
relationships, you will find that you get more joy, satisfaction,
and fulfillment out of your work; youll find success.
A wise old doctor once observed, I never spoke to a
businessman on his deathbed who said that he wished he
had spent more time in the office.
Thank you, and good luck in using these ideas in every
part of your life
