What if I told you 20 hours is all it takes to learn something new. Not a lot of time, wouldn’t you agree? Josh Kaufman states in his Ted talk called The first 20 hours that with “45 minutes a day for about a month” one can go from being completely incompetent to the point where once you complete your 20 hours of practicing you will be amazed with the results (9:13).

However, I had completely forgotten about the book until earlier this year when I saw it on the Savvy Reader's “Most Anticipated Reads of (Early) 2018” blog post. The protagonist of How to Stop Time is a man named Tom Hazard, a man who suffers from a condition called…

Revisiting my time management made me realize many things. I personally think that I have to improve in many areas of time managing. I need to start considering the time of days that I work best.
