For instance, I now have over 800 e-mails in my inbox and it grows exponentially by the day. I can’t keep up! Plus, with OCD tendencies, I feel like I need to read all of them. Instead, I should learn to let go of everything that does not directly lead to meeting key goals in my day/life.

Sleep deprivation is very unhealthy. We need 8-9 hours of sleep per night in order to function at maximum intellectual and physical levels. Besides, sleep deprivation is cumulative and sleep can’t be regained by “sleeping in” on weekends. (Medical background here.)

In seminars on the subject, I have learned that prioritizing is the most productive way to manage time. I’m just not very good at it yet! “FOCUS! STAY ON TASK!” (So hard to do!)

Technology has amplified the problem instead of solving it. However, I can’t imagine not having computers and access to the Internet. It is a valuable resource that must be managed very well.

As to time going by quickly, think of it in terms of a percentage of your overall lifespan. To a 3-year-old, a single week is a huge percentage of their lifetime. However, to a middle-aged person, a week is a small fraction of their lifetime and it speeds by quickly.

If you discover the answer to better time management, I really need to hear it!

Again, a great, thought-provoking blog!

I’m a little skidish, as you can probably tell.

But, I guess if my “career” (or hope of one) is going to be in some sort of public eye — putting my name out there can actually be helpful. I just need to be SUPER cautious bout the information I supply –

I’m glad you posted about this.
