THE CONQUEST OF THE MOMENTS.
By Anonymous
If you would make the best use of your time, look after the minutes. Keep a strict account of every hour of your time for a single week, setting down the exact manner in which every hour is spent, and see whether, when you come to review the record, you do not find it full of admonition and instruction. In this simple way one can readily understand the secret of his want of time. He will discover that he has given hours to idle talk, to indolence, and to inconsiderable trifles, which have yielded him neither profit nor pleasure. What is the remedy?—Arrange your work in order of comparative importance. Attend first to the things which are essential to be done, and let the unessentials take their turn afterwards. The difference in the amount of work accomplished will be astonishing.—Anonymous.
