CREATE YOUR MISSION

your goals and destination.

TIME MANAGEMENT
Get there! Don’t let the diversions take you off the course
 I need more time!

 I want to enjoy my life more. I’m always running


around. I never have time for myself.

 I am always in crisis because I postpone.

 There’s too much stress!

 There’s too much to do — and it’s all good. How do I


choose?

 If working harder, smarter, and faster won’t solve it,


what will ?
(1) Doing URGENT things – that demand our
immediate attention.

(2) Doing IMPORTANT things – that really matter to


us and satisfy us the most!
