Today I Must Exploit is a wonderful way to visualise how one uses his /her time. Each one of us has a different priority in life. As long as we are comfortable that we have focused our resources and our time to attain those priorities, we will never have any regrets about how we spend our time. If reading is our priority then so be it, watching a movie can also be ones priority especially if you are a move reviewer or sleep could be our prime concern after a hard days work. The problem is that we are rarely sure of our priorities and often we compromise on those priorities for short term pleasures. Students in particular are guilty of squandering away precious time by ignoring their studies and substituting it with frivolous pursuits like watching movies, TV, sleeping or shopping. For professionals, the danger is in wasting time in gossiping, backbiting, leg pulling, ego massaging, indecision, etc.
Three simple TIME management rules are
Have a place for everything and put everything in its place.
Plan your priorities and prioritize your plans.
Pursue your priorities purposefully.
Action Points
Ensure you start with a clean, orderly environment where all your stuff is kept in fixed places and locations.
List out your priorities and plans to achieve them.
Make a commitment to avoid all temptation and distractions that will divert your focus from the goal.
Dan was a single man living at home with his widowed father and working in the family business.
When he found out he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune.
One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her natural beauty took his breath away.
"I may look like just an ordinary man," he said to her, "but soon, my father will die and I will inherit $200 million."
Impressed, the woman asked for his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother.
Women are so much better at financial planning than men.
An eight-year-old boy approached an old man in front of a wishing well, looked up into his eyes, and said: "I understand you're a very wise man. I'd like to know the secret of life."
The old man looked down at the youngster and replied: "I've thought a lot in my lifetime, and the secret can be summed up in four words.
"The first is THINK. Think about the values you wish to live your life by.
"The second is BELIEVE. Believe in yourself based on the thinking you've done about the values you're going to live your life by.
"The third is DREAM. Dream about the things that can be, based on your belief in yourself and the values you're going to live by.
"The last is DARE. Dare to make your dreams become reality, based on your belief in yourself and your values."
And with that, Walter E. Disney said to the little boy,
"THINK, BELIEVE, DREAM and DARE."
Since the body processes various nutrients differently, it is really the proportion of the various nutrients that is important; not just the amount of food eaten or the total calories. Calorie counting is not a science but a simple approximation of your metabolic rate.
Calorie counting is but an indication of the calorie you use up daily. It does not take into consideration such things as your resting metabolic rate,your total muscle mass, whether you are an athlete or a smoker. All these factors impact your daily calorie consumption and effects your calorie count. The single most important objective is the balance of burnt calories with calories consumed. You know you have that balance whenyou deviate up or down from your ideal weight.
You get fatter from eating food late at night
Diet myths hold that you should not eat past a certain hour at night because the fat won’t be burned by any activity. This diet myth is just that: a myth. Studies found that a large evening meal eaten late at night did not cause the body to store more fat.
The study showed that body fat is controlled by the amount eaten in a 24-hour period, rather than at the time of day. Calories are not as much of an issue as the nutrition in what you eat. Body fat should be appropriate for your age and build, but you need body fat.
