TASK #4
January 21st–January 28th
Keep It Simple
To know who you are you have to know what you do. Or more specifically, you have to know how you spend your time.
In one week there are 10,080 minutes. Let me repeat–10,080 minutes.
As you know, once time passes, it’s gone. It ain’t coming back. So how are you spending your 10,080 minutes? Sleeping? Working? Exercising, eating, fooling around, having sex, driving?

(NOTE: 56 hours of sleep, or 3360 minutes, goes under NOT WASTED. Any more than that goes under WASTED.)
Pay attention: This is the brick and mortar of your life.

Surely the time is one of our most precious assets and we have to learn to value it more and enjoy every second that we need in order to add value in our lives, or making someone feel good… Read more »
