"Time Management"

Statement from the Head of the Department of Entrepreneurship, Daffodil International University:

Time is a valuable resource. A lower-class fourth-grade employee and a millionaire businessman both have the same amount of time. The only difference is how they manage it. The more effectively one can manage time, the more successful they become. Every moment of our lives is important. Wasting even a single minute can be harmful to us. Doing the right thing at the right time is the key element of time management.

In addition to allocating time for work and family, one must also set aside some time for themselves. Very few people can manage time effectively, but those who do are the ones who achieve success. Proper time management helps reduce stress and anxiety.

After reading this book, I have gained a better understanding of time management. I believe it is a highly relevant and useful book. Whether you are a businessperson, an employee, or a student, this book will surely be beneficial.
