    Chapter one: What determines your priorities?

    If you want to make good use of your time, you’ve got to know what’s most important and then give it all you’ve got. Lee Iacocca

    There is nothing inherently wrong with any of the above activities. However, what is wrong is to not question our existing mindset about time. Consider the following perspective:
