"Right out a plan for your self. Make a schedule." (p.90). This is something majority of people these day lack. And as a result we have bad time management. Without a secure schedule, you will say you want to do something but end up doing something else because you didn't really plan out your day. You just say what you would do but a lot of time things can happen that will make you change your mind. An example of this is me telling myself that I would do my homework when i get to Houston but end up doing other things. If I had plan a schedule for myself and follow what I plan then i wouldn't have to struggle trying to do all my work at the last minute. Making a plan can also benefit you by reminding you what exactly you need to do on a day to day basic. At the same time it can help you with time management. Planning out your day will help you make sure you do what you need to do and have time to do it.
"To say yes to important priorities,you have to learn to say no to other activities" (p.156). With time management you have to learn what is more important. As human beings we all like to take the easy path so when we are faced with an easy fun choice or a hard busy choice, we tend to go for the easy one. As a result, our time management skill tends to be really bad. As this quote mention, we have to learn when to say "no". If we learn to say "no" to things we know we shouldn't be doing then our time management skill would be a lot better. If i learn to say no to some things then I wouldn't have to struggle sometimes with my time management too. If we learn to combine these too rules together, everybody would have a day where it can run smoothly because they are doing what they are suppose to.
