Both of my children often stay very late and get up very late, especially on weekend.  Someone that I know stayed late last Saturday night and did not get up until noon of next morning. I called it “tearing off the east wall to mend the west wall.”  That person lost the whole morning to compensate for the late sleep.  I have repeatedly told them that morning was the key moment to accomplish a day’s task. Today’s posting is mainly on time management.  Time = life.  They have heard this from me numerous times. I will stop telling them until they start to listen.

This is from wikipedia on Alan Lakein.  He “is a well-known expert on personal time management. A Harvard MBA, his management films have won eight festivals and are best-selling training films. He is most well-known for his book How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life which has sold over 3 million copies.”

He is also known for his inspirational quotes, including “Time = Life. It is irreversible and irreplaceable.  To waste your time is to waste your life, but to master your time is to master your life and make the most of it.” He is often quoted as the creator of Lakein’s question: ‘What is the best use of my time right now?’”
