RESCUE YOUR CHILDRENWritten by Joe Cirillo
How often have you thought about this "your time is your life and your life is your time, when one is gone so is other "Time is infinite, not a renewable resource. The average person wastes two hours each day through disorganization and clutter in home and workplace, causing pressure, stress and unhappiness. We sleep 8 hours a day, that leaves 16. If you waste 2 hours, that's one-eighth of your life, thrown away, gone forever. Time is not managed, time is first organized by having your home and workplace organized, under your control and then it is managed. But, what about your children? Academia has done little to identify what time loss is to students in high school and college, how it contributes to stress and pressure and that teaching value of time at a young age is an investment, an investment that can be spent later, but more important, if children understood value of organizing their space could give them added time, reduce stress and bring more joy and happiness into their school experience and that this knowledge of controlling time would prepare them for a smoother entry into their careers and adult life with more confidence.

If your days seem shorter it may have nothing to do with Daylight Savings Time and more to do with “time wasters” that steal your time – minute by minute, hour by hour. Time wasters aren’t necessarily things we do, but rather things we don’t do. Let’s say for example you have a series of file cabinets that on outside seem neat, but once opened looks as if a Pendaflex bomb went off. Sure in theory you know where files are, they’re in this stack of file cabinets… somewhere. This is a time waster. By setting up a system for organization you’ll know exactly where to look for this file each time you need it. This won’t just lessen your frustration, it will help give you momentum you need to organize other areas of your life and get rid of those thieves of time: time wasters. Research has shown that most people lose up to two productive hours each day. The primary reason: time wasters. Be aware of time wasters that could be secretly stealing your time: ØDisorganized closets: how many mornings have you spent digging through your closet trying to find a specific blouse or shirt that seems hidden between a slew of clothes. ØOverloaded drawers: are you sure you still need all those socks? ØPack rats: you don’t need to keep everything, seriously you don’t. Get rid of it, sell it, give it away or toss it, but don’t keep it. The general rule of thumb is if you haven’t touched it in six months, you probably don’t need it anyway.
