Thank You Chris. This post is near and dear to me. Time is our most valuable resource.

I came across this as a Re-tweet! It's valuable information and reminds me how easy it is to expand time spent on tasks, particularly if it's something you enjoy doing (while avoiding those tasks you are putting off). The clock provides the discipline and acts as an "equal opportunity" taskmaster. As someone who struggles to keep on task, the sound of a timer works better than a glance at the clock. I will pass this on to my college-student children!
Thank you for the thoughtful piece.
(Tweeting is a two-edged sword as far as time goes… it does force you to be succinct with limited characters per tweet, but it can be seductive following al the links and ideas of so many people!)

That was a seriously inspiring video. I just reworked my schedule last night to make more room for me. I use a kitchen timer for my task management right now, but everything always takes longer than I think it should so I'm going to give the stopwatch idea a try.

David, this topic is so important for everyone. I got into it while reading Tim Ferriss' "4-hour work week" and I use RescueTime on my Mac to find out how much time I spend on each application. I feel it's also important to find out what you're spending time on that isn't necessary. My approach is eliminating stuff that keeps me from being really productive. Email is probably the most useless time-consuming thing I am busy with.

If you're in your office at 2pm and there's nothing really important for you to do, why not go home instead of hanging around just to be there? I think freeing oneself from "working just to be busy" is key.

Thanks for the post, it reminded me – I have to go

@Joe Thanks so much. Time and task managemnt may be the missing key for many business owners. The Action Time Machine just keeps getting better and better. Never heard of a countdown timer being called a "time left" timer. LOL

Good stuff David, I'm definitely a fan of time or task management!

I use "time left" timer and toodledo.com to manage my stuff, but this solution appears to be more integrated.

Good stuff bro.

@Debi – Your experiment and observation about the Value of Time is right on. Testing in the real world always yields interesting results. Thanks A bunch.
