  • Manage Your Time & Achieve Your Dreams

    Time

    There are only so few hours in a day, how can we spend our time efficiently? We turned to TED for some ideas. Here are a short intro video to watch:

    This is a 2-minute video on writing to do lists and how they are different than goals. Don't forget to break-down your goals into small tasks and "make them small, manageable and specific to increase your chances of getting it done!" This is a good intro video: http://ed.ted.com/on/7iFzKKiq

    Once you're done with the video, we highly recommend picking up a copy of "Write it Down, Make it Happen". This is truly one of the best books on accomplishing your dreams and being. Read it in one weekend and it will change your life.
