A Practical Application of Time Management

Abstract

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Thomas Hobbs, British philosopher and political theorist, made this oft-quoted observation in 1588. But thoughtful consistency is one of the defining qualities of time management and goal achievement: That which we do on a regular basis has potential to yield extraordinary rewards over time. Think, for a moment, the results of spending one hour a day on just about any activity. How would your life be different if you spent one hour a day exercising? Practicing an instrument? Writing up projects that lie dormant in your computer files? Improving personal relationships? Acquiring wealth?
