Causes for Time Mismanagement
PROCRASTINATION: Procrastination can be defined as intentionally, habitually, and without good reason, putting off things that should be done now.
POOR DELEGATION: Delegation means entrusting a task to another person, together with the authority to do it.
Poor delegation arises from a lack of trust. If you don’t entrust the other person with enough work to do, or you check everything they do too carefully, you are poor at delegation.
DIS-ORGANIZED WORKPLACE: If you don’t have a properly organized workplace you can waste time trying to find the information you need to get your work done. Looking for a missing file is a good example of non value-added time!
WASTING YOUR PEAK TIME: You should do your hardest tasks when you are at your peak energy level.

Make EFF words apply
EFFECTIVE: having a definite or desired effect
EFFICIENT: being productive with minimum waste or effect
EFFORTLESS: seemingly without effort, natural, easy

Take time to work- it is the price of success.
Take time to think- it is the source of power
Take time to play- it is the secret of perpetual youth
Take time to read- it is the foundation of wisdom
Take time to be friendly- it is the road to happiness.
Take time to dream- it is hitching your wagon to a star
Take time to love and be loved- it is the privilege of the Gods.
Take time to look around- the day is too short to be selfish
Take time to laugh- it is the music of the soul.

Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift.
That’s why it’s called ….
the Present!!
