There comes a point in our lives when we realize that time is our most priceless asset and we have to get serious about what we do with it. We have to make room for new duties by getting rid of some of the old, or we run the risk of squandering precious time on activities that really have outlived their usefulness. Here are some thoughts on how to upgrade some of those ill-used time slots. Yes, I mean that quite literally. Replace it with reading, family time or a meaningful hobby.
Many people have no concept of how much of their precious time they give away to the boob tube.
Use commute time to listen to recorded books or National Public Radio's excellent news and commentary. Eat lunch at your desk one or two days each week. Use that time to catch up on your technical reading. Or play a game with yourself - use the time you save by eating lunch in your office to do a chore that you would have carried home. Combine exercise with reading.
