21 Questions To Assess Your Readiness For Time Management

How many of us are guilty of "Putting the cart before the horse?"

Much is written on HOW to manage your time (the load in the cart) while little mentions the first step (the horse that pulls the load) of time management, asking WHY before we do the HOW.

Millions of people have read Napoleon Hill's, "Think and Grow Rich." Why have most of these readers failed to grow rich? Could the answer be the same for those who study how to manage time yet, remain poor managers of time? These WHY-questions help you check your readiness to pull the cart. Who better to ask? You know the answers better than anyone!

Attitude and determination are the horses that pull the load of time management tips toward success.

Look in the mirror as you ask yourself these questions.

20. Can I taste the need for change so strongly that I will dedicate myself for changing?
