Worried about managing your time well?
                 You’re wasting your time.
                 Worry steals your time and energy. It disrupts your
rest, damages your ability to make decisions, and robs you of the
pleasure and satisfaction you should get from work and play.

   When you worry, you aren’t planning, working, or solving
problems. Worrying never resolves anything.

   Worry ignores the present to fixate on a future that never arrives.
   Worrying is like paying interest on a debt. You have nothing to
show for it, you still have to pay back the principal, and you have
no money left for the things you need. Substitute energy and time
for money and you understand what worry really costs you.
   We learn to worry, and we can learn to stop. We can replace
worry with action.

Three Ways to Worry

   	 1.	 A decision you must make: a big one (“Should I stick with
         the security of a regular paycheck or start my own busi-
         ness?”) or a small one (“Should I order the double cheese-
         burger with fries or the salad with lo-calorie dressing?”)

   	 2.	 An action you must perform: like giving a business pre-
         sentation or attending a social gathering

   	 3.	 An event outside your control: like global warming or
         hostilities in the Middle East
