By Jim Estill

My business experience has taught me one true thing: That maximizing your productivity, happiness, peace, or impact can best be accomplished if you clearly understand the 12 Rules of Time.

1. Have goals

Being more efficient with your time is irrelevant if you don't know how you want to spend it. In managing time, the compass is more important than the clock. Know where you want to go and spend...

Nobody has yet come up with a solution as to "why do most people procrastinate?" Even at present, procrastination is considered to be the biggest mysteries surrounding human beings. Although, most people know that the solution to such problems lie deep within them, in reality, they would not admit them. It is not only counterproductive to put off an inevitable task, but it also causes a great deal of stress, especially in those cases, when a person hardly has the patience to...

The prison systems of the United States are rest homes for most of their inmates. They provide good food and entertainment. Television sets and weight lifting gyms keep inmates busy and seldom are there any complaints. Most inmates meet others who come from similar backgrounds and share common interests.

Have you ever forgotten an appointment or an important date? Do you think of things you need to do later but don’t remember to do them because you have no place to write them down?

Do you want to clear the clutter in your life? Obtaining a day planner and using it can clear the clutter and organize your...

Trying to get things done around the house, but feeling overwhelmed by your never-ending list of things-to-do?

Here’s a simple system that works.

“I just don’t have enough time!” It’s the number one complaint I get from clients. Almost without exception, people use time as their number one excuse for not having the life they want and see themselves as victims of their reality of “not enough time.” Their availability to spend time with family, to work out, or take a seminar seems nearly impossible in the shadow of sixty-hour workweeks and the demands of the job outside the home. Heaven forbid we...

At first glance, it would seem that positive thinking and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) have nothing to do with one another. But many of us with ADD develop negative thinking patterns because we become frustrated by our challenges and frequent feelings of being overwhelmed. This negative outlook then makes it even harder for us to manage those challenges and move forward.

Practicing positive thinking allows people with ADD to focus on our strengths and accomplishments,...

A successful venture at work does not just mean that you know your job well, or that you execute your projects efficiently. It also means that you get your work done on schedule and here is where time management comes in.

When you have a job that keeps you busy, you concentrate so much on what your major task is that you sometimes miss out on the smaller tasks. To make things worse, your stress level goes up and you feel totally fagged out at the very thought of managing all...

Time management is described as the approach or technique engaged by availing of practices and implements to organize and expend time in an extremely useful way, in order to produce the utmost value for each second that is expended.
