    How to Manage Your Time 

    Julie-Ann Amos, author of "Manage Your Time" urges people to learn how to spend time on results and not on effort. She advises that people spend time actually achieving things since this is what motivates people to work better. Unfortunately, most people just put in more hours and effort without realizing that more work doesn't necessarily mean more success.

    If you want to learn better time management, you should look closely at "what you do" and "how you do it". In time, you should be able to tell the difference between efficiency and effectiveness, as well as important and urgency. Remember, time is not your enemy. It is just a question of learning how to manage time properly.
