Managing Time - Something is Better Than Nothing

This time management technique is called "something is better than nothing." Suppose you say that you really want to read this interesting book, but you don't seem to have the time. Well, guess what - reading 2 pages per day, which on average takes about 7-9 minutes, is much better than not reading that book at all, and it will get you through the book.

Some people complain that they don't have time to exercise. But did you know that most people can run a mile in much less than 10 minutes and get a great work out out of that run which is much, much better than not working out at all?

Some people dream about writing a book, but never get to it, because writing a book is such a time consuming project. But the few people who allocate 30 minutes per day to writing, eventually finish their book and enjoy the satisfaction of sticking to their plan and completing a significant life project.

I am sure you get the idea by now. If you face time management related issue and have a difficulty prioritizing your tasks, keep one important fact in mind: doing something - doing one, little part of your project (whatever it might be) is much better than not doing anything, and it will always bring you closer to the goal that you are after if you stick to it - no matter how small your steps are, because small steps are much better than no steps at all.
