Author Lucy MacDonald explains how learning to manage your time can set you free

‘Having enough time is the luxury item of the moment. Today men and women – and even children – all around the world are experiencing increasing levels of time stress. This chronic stress is linked to poor physical and psychological health.

We all have the same 24 hours in the daily time bank. Time is the constant, so what needs to change are the choices that we make about how we use our time. Managing time is about making decisions concerning how you want to live your life. You have the life you have because of the decisions you make regarding how you spend your time. If you want a different life, you must make different decisions. If you are not convinced about this, look at the successful people you know and pay attention to how they spend their time.

Time is an extremely precious resource, and managing it well can help you to achieve your goals and your dreams.

I hope that you will use this book to set yourself free: free from the chronic hurriedness of everyday living, free from the fear of wasting time, and free from the tyranny of having too much to do and not enough time in which to do it.

Ultimately, how you spend your time is how you live your life – so spend it wisely.’
