Have you ever awakened to a feeling of dread at the thought of going to work? Have you ever had the challenge of working for leadership that proved to be ineffective, smothering, incompetent, or lazy? Or perhaps you were thrown into a leadership role with very little training and made some significant mistakes yourself.
While overworking seems to be popular these days, the effects can be extremely damaging to your body, mind, spirit, and relationships. The temptation may be strong, but there's ultimately no benefit to giving an unbalanced amount of your life to work even when you have bills to pay.

"How well do you manage your time"? Like most people, you probably find it challenging to answer that question. From a productivity perspective, it's better to think about your time as an asset, rather than a burden that you must figure out how to use. Or even worse, rather than not thinking about it at all.
By taking some time to understand how you spend your time, you can begin to make significant steps toward better time management.
