“Time is currency: it is not passed, but spent.” E.P. Thompson (English historian) “ There will be no crisis this week… my schedule is full!” (unknown)

Identify which tasks are the most important and the least, and then complete them according to your priorities Create a task list, print it, and keep it with you Update the list daily; revise status weekly Prioritize tasks by deadline and level of importance Identify the best time of day for you to perform various tasks (reading, editing, phone calls, ) Allocate time on your calendar for priority tasks
