This Week's Motivational Moment |
|
Research on the most successful people in all walks of life including academics, business, athletes, science, music, and medicine have learned to conquer four common time wasters.
Laziness:
Time put to no useful purpose,
not even relaxation.
Procrastination:
Putting off things that should be done now.
Distraction:
Time frittered away on the details of side issues,
to the detriment of the main issue.
Impatience:
Lack of preparation, thoroughness,
or perseverance, usually resulting in
time-consuming mistakes.
---------------
Finish the rest of this week strong Patriots. Enjoy your well earned spring break, but when you return, we want to begin the last nine weeks with momentum!
