Now your major resource is a kind of bank account, one that we all have in common. This bank account has some peculiarities. You can never get a statement. You can never make a deposit. All you can do is withdraw from it. This is of course your bank account of time.

With this bank account you have no manager with whom you can discuss the most effective use of its assets. And you never know how much you have left in it. So time is your most valuable resource.There is such a very big difference between activity and achievement. A person can be very busy all day long without actually achieving very much.

This person can be mentally and physically exhausted at the end of a day and will often voice the expression ‘I don’t know where the time has gone but I haven’t stopped all day.’ Such individuals have not set themselves clearly defined goals or tasks, and they often suffer from the human frailty of procrastination. They put off or forget things they should be doing or should have done.
