There are four rules of time.
Time Is
Perishable:
Perishable:
The first is that time is perishable. This means that it cannotbe saved. In fact, time can only be spent. Because time is perishable, the only
thing you can do with it is to spend it differently, to reallocate your time
away from activities of low value and towards activities of higher value. But
once it is gone, it is gone forever. Time Is Indispensable:
The second rule of time is that time is indispensable. All work requires time.
No matter what it is you want to do in life, even looking out a window or
sleeping in for a few extra minutes, it requires a certain amount of time. And
according to the 10/90 Rule, the 10% of time that you take to plan your
activities carefully in advance will save you 90% of the effort involved in
achieving your goals later. The very act of thinking through and planning your
work in advance will dramatically reduce the amount of time that it takes you
to do the actual job. Time
is Irreplaceable: The Currency of the
Future
The third rule of time is that time is irreplaceable. Nothing
else will do. Time is the only currency that means anything in your
relationships with the members of your family, your friends, colleagues,
customers and co-workers. Truly effective people give a lot of thought to
creating blocks of time that they can then spend, without interruption, with
the important people in their lives.
The Key to Goal-Achievement:
The
fourth rule is that time is essential for accomplishment. Every goal you want
to achieve, everything you want to accomplish, requires time. In fact, one of
the smartest things you ever do, when you set a goal, is to sit down and
allocate the exact amount of time that you are going to have to invest to
achieve that goal. The failure to do this almost always leaves the goal
unaccomplished. Take Action:

First, decide today to redirect and reallocate your time away from low-value
tasks and towards high-value activities.
Second, make a plan to spend more time face-to-face with the most important
people in your life.
The
more you think about the use of your time, the better you will become.
