Everyone wants his or her time to be spent well doing something productive and meaningful. You can determine the quality of your time by managing how you spend your time. In Master Your Time, Master Your Life, the author, Brian Tracy, argues that how you manage your time determines the quality of your time.

Time management is not just about organizing your schedule in your daily planner. It’s about self-discipline. It’s about personal life management. To manage your time well, therefore, you need to know what you want in life. What do you want to work on every day? To what end, should you manage time? This is why Tracy presents three questions that help you to find out your life goals.

First, you need to know who you are.

Second, you need to know what you want.

And Third, you need to know where you’re going.

Sit down with a pen and a notebook regularly and journal about these questions.

Who are you? What makes you different? What matters to you? What do you value in life?

Where are you in life right now? Where do you want to go in the future?
