*Secret 110 Drink Coffee... Lots of It!


The caffeinated kind. No joke.

Think about it. It's difficult to manage your time well when you're tired.

A cup or two—especially in the morning—can make a significant difference in your life!

And don't forget about Coffee's other amazing benefits:


1. Coffee is cheaper than other drugs that stimulate you (like meth)... not to mention.. it's legal (unlike meth).

2. Recent scientific research actually shows the benefits of drinking coffee.

3. Drinking coffee makes you thinner, better looking, and wealthier. OK this is a lie... but woudln't it be cool if it were true?

Secret #105 Time-Saving Techniques Are Good, But Being Clear About What to Live for Is Better


"We can be quite sure that whatever God wishes us to devote ourselves to He will grant us time enough in which to do it. Our responsibility is to find out exactly what He wants and hold resolutely to that. One of our greatest problems is that we misunderstand what God asks of us, either by adding all kinds of extra responsibilities or by possessing only a hazy idea of what He wishes. We will gain more time by properly understanding His will for us than by all time-saving suggestions put together."

Secret #88 The Titantic Principle

In the frenetic pace to figure out how to get more time, we often focus our attention on "time-saving" devices and ideas. That is, we seek to be efficient because we think that it will "save time." Yet, focusing your attention on being efficient is a good thing ONLY if you're doing something worthwhile in the first place.

"There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all."
--Peter Drucker


Think about it. Are you really being efficient if you're cleaning the kitchen on the Titantic?

It's quite possible to be wonderfully efficient at something that's not really worth doing.

It's just a thought.
