Getting Back on Track When Your Schedule Is Hijacked

Start with an audit. For one full week, track how you actually spend your time without changing anything. You cannot fix what you do not know. Most people do not truly know where their hours go.

Catalog your time in journal form. You will quickly see where the oil is leaking and where time is being wasted. The wisdom of life really does consist in the elimination of the non-essentials.

I have not been out to eat on a Saturday night in over twenty-five years, because Sunday begins on Saturday. I have said no to LSU versus Alabama games for twenty-five years to do Sunday well. You have to learn to say no. You will never get control of your schedule until you know it and protect it.
