15 Secrets Successful People Know about Time Management

Problem

• To-do lists should be called painful wish lists. A series of tasks you hope to accomplish, without a specific plan. 

Solutions

• Schedule a chunk of time for everything that is important to you; this is called “time blocking” or “time boxing.”
•  Important items should be scheduled as early in the day as possible
• Third, don’t cancel goals; reschedule them if necessary.
• Treat your time-blocked calendar entries as if they were appointments with your doctor; they are that important.

• Every Yes is a No to something else. It's not that you should say no to everything; it's that you should think it through.
• uncontrolled, saying yes to requests for time will quickly block out all the other things we value—including the very things that made us successful in the first place.
• Give yourself permission to say no without guilt. You should not care about what others think of you for declining their requests!
• Say no to everything that does not support your immediate goals
