Time for What Matters: Moving Beyond Time Management and into the Optimization of Living

Learning to effectively manage your time is not so much about organizing your life, as it is about optimizing and facilitating your possibilities. 

With good use of time, some structure, commitment, and defined aspirations, you can make dreams happen each and every day...or work toward them. 

In Time for What Matters, you will learn many ways to maximize your time and optimize your life including: 

* Optimize your time - learn to appreciate the moment, take care of your health, and improve the quality of your time to not only have as much time as possible, but also to have as much quality time as possible. 

* Make the most of your time - commit to living the best life you can. All the time. 

* The gift of time - time is one of life's most precious resources. It is more valuable than any riches, sum of money, or treasure, for no matter how much or little you have, you cannot buy more. Do not squander it. 

* Find out what is most important - identify the most important thing in any moment. This is the priority. 

* Do the most important thing first - Our time is finite. Do what matters most. 

* Timemapping - diagram your day, break down its patterns and look for opportunities to fill with meaning. 

* Fill the gaps - fill the openings in your day with the most important things. We all need rest and relaxation, but we also need to work toward our dreams. 

* Set goals - decide who and what you want to be and start working toward it...this instant. Use the gaps in your day to become who and what you want to be. 

* Be present - you make the most of each moment by being here now. There is no other time and there is no other place to be. 

* Maintain a positive mental perspective - boredom, disappointment, and lack of motivation are all normal emotions but they all miss the wonder, majesty and unlimited opportunity of the present. Do not let distraction squander your time. 

* Be efficient and effective with your use of time - fully utilize and take advantage of each moment. Rest and regroup when needed but remember, you build your future and your future self by what you do in every instant. 

* Make time for yourself - your needs are important. Create time and space for yourself to live, love, learn, and grow. Live your best life. 

* Avoid procrastination - do not avoid doing what is most important. Other things can wait. 

* Imagine what you want and start doing it - dreams don't happen tomorrow. They start today. 

* Live your passions - live your joys, your passions, and your loves. Make life wonderful. 

Time for What Matters will help you live each moment as completely as you can, so you will live your life with joy and appreciation, knowing you have made the most of the time given.
