Four key questions

So you're busy today... filter your busyness through these four questions:

1. Why am I doing this?
2. What is the goal?
3. Why will I succeed?
4. What happens if I choose not to do it?

So, what are you going to change? :)

Time (read: Life) Management

What are the top 100 things you'd like to do before you die?

We all have to deal with a non-renewable resource in our lives. Time. It's a gift and it can't be re-grown, fixed, or replaced... once today is over you can NEVER get it back! (sorry to be such a drag today!)

Randy Paush was on Oprah this month sharing a 10 minute version of a speech he gave at the University he teaches at. He shares about time management from a compelling platform... he has pancreatic cancer and only has months to live. Though I don't completely agree about his summation of humanity he makes many wise statements about how to manage your life.

Here is an hour lecture he gave in 1998 on time management... Lot's of 'gold' here:
