Dollarize your time
A friend back in college once told me that he doesn’t measure his time in terms of minutes or hours but with pesos. I thought he was just drunk as we often were in college.

Book Review: Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress Free Productivity (David Allen 2002)
When I asked myself, “what do I need to do, for me to able to focus on those things I am passionate about?”, the answer that immediately popped-out of my head is to de-clutter my mind. Get things done on time if not early, so that you could have the time for those things you love to do.

You do things with the same thought process, direction and resources instead of doing many different things at the same time.
Instead of doing things this way. [Read More]
