“Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them”--- Dion Boucicault

Since we plan to plug time leakages, we can first identify some of the common points of time leakage:

1.      Procrastination

^2.        Indecision

^3.        Lack of delegation (over- centralization)

^4.        Lack of organization/planning

^5.        Lack of self discipline

^6.        Day Dreaming/Gossip/Perfectionism

^7.        Unproductive Social Functions

^8.        Misdirected conferences/meetings

^9.        Inability to say ‘No'

^10.      Interruptions

^11.      Communications

We can all add to this brief list, based on our own experience. Meanwhile, it may be worthwhile to examine each of the above time wasters in greater detail.
