Time managment:

Deadlines and time frames establish parameters, but usually not in a good way. Most people given two hours to complete a task will instinctively adjust their effort so it actually takes two hours -- even if it shouldn't.

So forget deadlines, at least as a way to manage your activity. Tasks should only take as long as they need to take. Do everything as quickly and effectively as you can. Then, use your "free" time to get other things done just as quickly and effectively.

Average people allow time to impose its will on them; exceptional people impose their will on their time.
