1. Do strategic planning

Most people just take one day at a time and then they wonder where the time went. Living reactively may take less brainpower but it also puts the world mostly in control.

2. Monitor your time

As business guru Tom Peters said: What gets measured gets done. If you measure the time you spend you can identify areas where you can adjust and improve.

8. Choose your companions carefully

8. Choose your companions carefully

Everyone has had at least one time-sucker in his or her life. These people are stealing your seconds and minutes because you let them do it.

Whether they are a friend or family member, you must take control.

Limit their availability or cut them out completely. You can do more for them by ceasing to enable their behavior.

9. Give yourself 30 dedicated minutes each day

Your day belongs to you. You may choose to give it to work, friends, TV or whatever but ultimately it is your time and you can choose how to use it. Instead of battling it, show time you are in control. Take 30 minutes each and every day to use on yourself in the best way possible so you can be your best for others. Give yourself the present of 1800 seconds.
