    Brilliant work here.... Seen a lot of theories about time management; this one pretty much takes the cake. :-)

    To be 100% honest here, I procrastinate! I always leave everything for tomorrow........

    I live by a priority list. Every morning I update my to-do and number each item with order of importance. I'm a big believer in Brian Tracy as well. I apply his teachings to my micro niche endeavors. I believe procrastinating is the #1 productivity killer. I have many friends who think about taking on a new business but never get around to takings first step.

    Thank you for the comment. Procrastination in my mind is not only a productivity killer but a very powerfull stressor as well, which adds a significant portion of stress to our alreday stressful lives.

    I really enjoyed the time management philosophy explained through the Pickle Jar metaphor. It makes it so much clear to understand how one should be managing the time.

    My personal difficulty with time management has always been and still is "trying to be PERFECT". This is such a great time killer that it has often spoiled my carefully developed plans. The way I manage it is by having a short list of "Priority Tasks". Hanging just in front of my eyes it constantly discourages me from thinking anything else. After I complete all these tasks, I take a break and plan for next steps (again writing down another "priority list").

    My long training of mindfulness practice has also helped me significantly to keep my self disciplined.

    I am lensrolling this lens and will look forward to your future lenses. Thank you.
