Once you're born, the clock starts ticking - and you get only so many ticks
during your life. To make the most, and get the most, out of the time we're
given on this mortal coil should drive us all. That's just one set of reasons why I'm such a big fan of Kerry's work. Time wasted on unimportant things is time taken away from doing things that matter, things that make a difference - both
at work and at home.

No one on their death bed ever wished they had spent more time at work.
An even more heretical thought is that it's us - as individuals - who determine how much time we spend at work! Work/life balance is very much a
personal decision.

Maximising or optimising our efficiency gives us discretionary time. Time
where we can decide what to do with it - whether that involves reading, reflecting, thinking or writing about the things we want to do ourselves - the things that matter most to us. For my part, it's that discretionary time that allows me to indulge one of the lessons of life - that's "The best minute I spend (or in my case 15 minute blocks) is the minute I invest in people!"
