Managing time is a key aspect of life. If not done properly, your life will be hectic, stressful and unproductive. As the book states, "Positive attitudes produce positive results. Negative attitudes produce negative results."(Raymond. 2013).Which in my opinion, means that as long as you try to balance your life in a positive way, you'll get positive results in your balancing.
