Top 3 Value Bombs
1. If you only have 24 hours in a day, there is a limit to just how much extra productivity you can squeeze out of that. There's just a limit to how much extra things you can squeeze into your time. Eventually you are just squeezing blood from a stone.
2. There's two different ways to approach time. There is the clock time and then there's the event time. clock time is when you are going by the clock and that's the main priority. Event time is more about meeting the objective than it is staying on the schedule.
