The First 2 Hours

Donna McGeorge

The main idea in these summaries: Despite everyone having the same 24 hours in a day, it often feels like there’s never enough time. Time is your most valuable resource, so it’s crucial to use it wisely and know the best times for different tasks. Take advantage of your body’s natural rhythm to tackle important tasks when your mind is at its sharpest, typically in the morning. Reserve less valuable time for routine tasks that keep things running smoothly. Practical suggestion: Be sure to schedule anything important. If reading academic articles or organizing your finances is important, don’t just leave it to chance. Schedule these tasks to ensure they get done. Have any thoughts to share?
