CautionCautionThe only gift that is common to all of mankindYou cannot manage time, you can only manage
yourself (actions) to effectively use timeTime is a Non Renewable Resource Once it is
gone, it is gone. You will never see this moment again.
60 seconds per minute X 60 minutes per hour X 24 hours per day = 86,400 Seconds
Pareto Principle : Twenty percent of your time will produce 80% of your productive output. Can you afford not to manage at-least that 20% ?
Parkinson’s Law : Work expands to fill the time available for it. Beware!

Tomorrow’s a Mystery
