Sometimes, we sit in front of the computer, a day of time suddenly passed, things that need to be done has no significant progress.
Sometimes, a week, a month passed in a hurry, we feel busy, but come to think about it, there is nothing worth talking about.
At the same time, we always hear some successful stories, such as some people are well-known in the industry, and also doing a good job, but also ensure that they read at least two books a week to recharge themselves.
Why the same 24 hours, some can use it efficiently, some can’t.
Time allocation determines our life; we should seriously think about how to allocate our time, which will determine the direction of our life.

Effective utilize of time fragment
In the Internet era, our time is divided into many fragments, if effective use of these fragmented time, the accumulation of time, can also be a valuable amount of wealth.

I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterwards.
- Albert Einstein
You speak my language. Discipline is everything in life. Success is just a matter of repetition and getting things done on time. You might sound all roboty but its the only way to truly success in life :)
Great post, very comprehensive by also including the important time of relaxation! I believe time is the most valuable resource we have and we tend to forget its importance. We can not get any lost time back and money can only partly give us more of it, by outsourcing activities and make more time for our priorities. Time management should be a great focus in every education program, since it eventually shapes our whole life, as you've stated so clearly.
I switched from the unwanted social FB to the wanted Steemit.
Time management can be challenging for a lot of people. I am finding it a huge pressent challenge for me, after years of being very efficient. This used to be a strength. Now I need to find a new way to come back to clear time management. I believe habits can be a powerful ally or foe. If I can find a way to set my habits to efficient time management, they will take care of it for me.
Paradoxically, I have found setting time restrictions can be helpful. If I only allow myself to work on a goal for 20 minutes and then force myselt to stop, I will be focused during those 20 minutes because I know it's all I've got. I usually get better work out of a focused 20 then a flighty 45.
