HOW TO CONTROL INTERRUPTIONS Set a time limit and stick to it. Set the stage in advance : You are very busy with a deadline in light. With casual droppers-in, remain standing. Meet in other person’s office. Get visitors to the point. Be ruthless with time but gracious with people. Have a clock available. Use a call-back system for telephone calls.
PLANNING THE DAY Prepare a list of priorities for the day based on urgency and importance. Get the timing right. Morning is the time for hard work. Interesting work, meetings and social events can take place in off-peak time. Have work-breaks to over come fatigue. Living 100% in the present improves your work output.

The Value of Time To realize the value of one year, ask a student who failed a grade. To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby. To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of one hour, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of one second, ask the person who just avoided a traffic accident. To realize the value of one millisecond, ask the person who won an Olympic medal. Time has a value greater than any currency. We may leave our children the money we don’t use in our own lifetimes, but we cannot leave them one millisecond of time
Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.
