To do vs To Schedule…The Time Changer…

It was brought to my attention recently by the GREAT author & Success mentor, Darren Hardy,  via his early morning video caffeine shot ‘Darren Daily‘, to rethink my ‘to do listing’. I’ve created a habit at work to allocate time rather than to-do’s which has worked extremely to this point, but Darren’s advice went furtherContinue reading “To do vs To Schedule…The Time Changer…”
