Coach Pete's Tip: Manage Priorites Not Time
The secret is in managing your priorities not time. We make time for important things in our lives. When a crisis or important task is suddenly forced on us it some how it gets done. What we are doing is really managing priorities not time. We can not manage time, we can not stop it or hit the pause button. We can not rewind and replay the last hour.
