It's not difficult to waste time.
So I hope you're not wasting your time today.
I hope you're doing something important, something valuable with the 24 hours which you have been given.
What I love about the concept of time is that it's the great common denominator.
It puts us all on an equal playing field.
It doesn't matter how old you are.
It doesn't matter if you're male or female.
It doesn't matter what country you live in.
It doesn't matter what you do for a job.
You have just as much time today.
Neal has 24 hours, and I have 24 hours.
Your colleagues have just as much time as you.
Your competitors have just as much time as you do.
So what makes the difference?
How does someone succeed or how does someone get more out of their day than someone else?
Well, it comes down to making smart decisions, being wise with our time.
How can you do that?
Make a schedule.
Make a plan.
Parse out your to-do list between the things you should do and the things you could do.
Make sure that you're focused on the most important, the most value-added activities that you can today.
Think of great inventors of the past.
Think of Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, the Wright brothers, Steve Jobs.
Did they have extra hours in their day that others did not?
Of course not.
They had just as many hours in the day.
They had just as many days in the week as you do.
So do something special with it.
Do something amazing with the time which you have been given.
It's very simple.
