QUESTION: What do the President of the United States, a housewife, a
lawyer and a nursing assistant all have in common? ANSWER: They all
have twenty-four hours in each and every one of their days. So why do
some people seem to be able to get their
work done with time to spare and others
seem to rush through their day and still end
up not finishing their work?
Consider the results of a recent survey:
31% of Americans say they don’t spend
enough time with their families.
66% say they don’t have enough free
time.
38% of Americans are cutting back on
sleep to have more time.
33% say they don’t finish their work every
day.
21% don’t have time for fun anymore.
In the U. S., people are living longer than they used to, yet many are
enjoying it less because they feel pressed for time. One reason could be
the way they manage their time. How about you? Do you ever feel
stressed out—with too much to do and not enough time? This inservice
