ExcerptTime Is More Than Money—It’s Your Life!Gaining control over our time is nothing short of gaining control of our life. The good news is you do have a choice. From CEO to business owner to file clerk, reclaiming control over your time is a powerful act of self-mastery. Pause. Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Han suggests a deep breath before answering the phone or other conscious pauses throughout the day. Remember the airplane instructions. Put your own “oxygen mask” on first. To take care of others, you must care for yourself first. Carve out idle time alone. Greek philosopher Aristotle noted that “nature requires us not only to be able to work well but also to idle well.”
