Time Management“The only thing even and equal in this world is the number of hours in a day. The difference in winning or losing is what you do with those hours.”

…Woody Hayes, Football Coach

The Law of Forced Efficiency There is never enough time to do

everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing.

important things?

• Ask yourself throughout the day…. Is this the most important thing I can be

doing, right now, to achieve my goals?

end of today• 2-3 minutes go through and put A, B, C, D, E by each• 2-3 minutes prioritize A’s, B’s, C’s ; note who you will delegate the

D’s to; cross out the E’s• Turn to person on the right and take 1 minute each to share what is

the most important thing you will complete, first, when you leave.
