Course overview
One must not consider time-saving techniques; instead we should focus on better ways to spend time. Effective and efficient people are those who have mastered this self-discipline. This makes time a personal asset or resource of everyone. If we pursue this line of thought, then Time Management becomes self-management, and self-management becomes life management.
