There are only 24 hours in
day.
And although just about
everyone complain bout not
h ving enough time, the sad

or ven days in wee i all
you are going to get.
In other words, during any
given day or ee we all have
ex ctly the same amount of
time, Th t time can ei her be
man ed or asted. We are
either min. efficient and
effective use of our time to
accomplish our t and goals
in life or we are w ing time.
One of the biggest reasons
for time ting is that -, well

you can take to conquer pro
crastination:
-F' t you must be pro
perly motivated.
To help motivate your If,
remember this: The more
you overcome procrastination
the more you will enjoy life.
For example, if you can t e
five steps a day toward a goal
of, let's y, achieving fmancial
independence while the aver e
person takes only one step a
day toward that goal, you will
get there five times more quick
ly and you will have five times
more time to enjoy your If
once you get there.
-Secon Y t remern r· the
Benjamin Franklin dmonition:
" ever put off for tomorro ,
what you can do tod y." Th
are the best anti-procra in tion
words ever p en. In tod y'
parlance we might rj

best way to ccomplsih thi
is to decide the night before
wh t you are goin to do the
next day. Again, you should
write this decision on
'thing to do' pad and revie
the pad once a day to see wh t
