You may have heard the saying that it isn’t time management we have trouble with—it’s choice management.
We all have the same amount of time in a day. So if we aren’t getting things done, the problem isn’t that we don’t have enough time. The problem is that we aren’t making good choices about how to spend our time. Keeping that in mind, I thought I’d share some tips that I’ve picked up from the CEOs I engage with on a daily basis.
