Work Smart (Not Hard)

"The whole secret of freedom from anxiety over not having enough time lies not in working more hours, but in the proper planning of the hours." -- Frank Bettger

"Learn to use ten minutes intelligently. It will pay you huge dividends." -- William A. Irwin

We need to commit time to doing the right things for ourselves, and only we can judge what’s right for us. We need to clearly know what we want, and we need to believe we can have it. Having goals in mind, we can avoid the trap of busyness and get right down to business. Efficiency is not nearly as important as effectiveness.

For fulfillment, we need to take our lives off autopilot. We need to consciously decide what we will and will not do, moment by moment. We need to give ourselves the space, support and freedom to be proactive in choosing how we live each day.
