It is at the center of all things. Its measurement defines our age, years of marriage, schooling, service, work, and so much more. Many of us feel overwhelmed by time. Do you know anyone interested in success who is not running at 75 mph? Might you be one of those people? How does the time pressure feel? Or, as Dr. Phil might say, “How’s time working for you?” You can’t grow, buy, save, or cheat time. All you can do is use it wisely. How we use our time defines how we live our lives. No one is rich in time except for he who manages it well. Time is not just about dealing with pressure in the moment. It is much grander than that. When we expand our notion of time, we expand our notion of ourselves. As we progress through this book, I will treat you to some deeper and fun thinking about time. Here’s my goal: to give you strategies that help you feel good about your use of time and make you generally more “aware” about time. That’s all that matters, anyway. Of course, it helps if we use our time for things that feel good — and are good for us! Let the journey into time begin. 8 WE ALL HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME, AND EVERY SECOND COUNTS There are only 24 hours in a day. The good news is that each day consists of more than 86,000 seconds! Think of all that can happen in a second. In this tiny space of time, you can fall in love, get in an accident, or make a major decision. What significant things have happened to you in just a second? 9 WORK, PLAY, AND SLEEP Most people work more than 40 hours per week. Most people take 2 weeks of vacation or less. Most people get less than a full night of sleep. That’s a lot of work without much time off! What’s your proper balance of work, play, and sleep? 10 TIME MANAGEMENT IS THE ULTIMATE BALANCING ACT There are five main areas (the “Big Five”) in which we need to manage our time well: relationships, health, career, finances, and spirit. We don’t need to spend an equal amount of time in each area — only enough time to remain balanced. Mismanagement of time in any of these five areas impacts the other four. For example, if we don’t spend enough time maintaining good health, we are guaranteed relational, career,

  • 2018 Asian American Employment Plan Survey
    State of Illinois Illinois Department of Central Management Services STATE OF ILLINOIS8 201 Asian American Employment Plan Respectfully submitted to the Illinois General Assembly by Central Management Services Dear Member of the Illinois General Assembly: The enclosed 2018 Asian-American Employment Plan evaluates the Asian-American representation within the State’s workforce through a transparent and comprehensive presentation of demographic data. The representation of Asian-Americans in the State’s workforce among coded employees was 3% in 2017. That representation is equal to the percent of Asian-Americans applying for positions with the State. It is also within one percent of the representation in Illinois’ labor market throughout the employee lifecycle, including in supervisory, technical, professional, and managerial positions. The State of Illinois provides the highest value to taxpayers when the workforce that powers State government is diverse and inclusive. Companies that capitalize upon the science behind diversity and inclusion are able to leverage their differences to better fulfill their organizational missions and become leaders in their industries. I have instructed my administration to explore opportunities to apply diversity and inclusion strategies in the State’s workforce to better reflect the growing diversity within our State and strengthen our ability to represent and serve the people of Illinois. For meaningful and sustainable change, State agencies must implement creative and effective internal mechanisms that provide structural support for their diversity efforts. Many have already begun. For example, 15% of agencies have designated a liaison to foster relationships within the Asian-American community. Many agencies offer diversity and unconscious bias training to Human Resources staff, Rutan interviewers, and other decision-makers in the employment selection process.

  • DEBUNKING the of CALENDARING & DOCKETING TECHNOLOGY
    DEBUNKING the of CALENDARING & DOCKETING TECHNOLOGY COPYRIGHT © 2018 ADERANT HOLDINGS, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There are some technologies that emerge and seamlessly replace the old way of doing things, much like the way email replaced pen and paper as the primary means of business communication. Other technologies take longer to attain mass adoption because of issues with price, ease-of-use, or simply breaking old habits. Often, the biggest reason for rejecting technology comes down to trust. The calendar is perhaps the most quintessential element of a legal professional’s life. So why would he or she trust it to technology?–"I’ll calculate my own dates and deadlines!" Yet, according to Lawyers’ Mutual Insurance Company, the largest number of malpractice claims each year are the result of missed deadlines. The most common reason for missing deadlines is the lack of a calendaring system. Practice groups with cases in multiple jurisdictions face the enormous task of calculating court deadlines and staying on top of rules changes at multiple levels, which may include local, state, federal and even judge’s individual rules. It’s not uncommon for firms to handle several thousands of cases a year and with each come hundreds of deadlines and calendaring changes. Missed deadlines or court appearances can cause a disruptive and costly scramble to fix the problem; an impaired or ruined client relationship; and in some circumstances an expensive malpractice lawsuit and embarrassing press headlines. Preconceived notions about docketing and calendaring software may keep a firm from purchasing or lawyers within a firm from utilizing it.
