We can choose and control much of the way we spend our time. We donÕt have to go wherever the wind pushes us. Like a skilled sailboat captain, we can harness the wind to take us where we want to go.
We can
_ control our own behavior and influence othersÕ behavior.
_ choose which behaviors in others that we reinforce, re-direct, or extinguish.
_ align our activities with our values and goals.
_ assertively balance our work and personal time.
_ understand our personal energy and schedule our activities to match it.
_ say no.
_ streamline meetings and email communication.
_ engage the people around us to support our time-management goals and be better managers of their own time.
