WIN--What's Important Now

Get Up Early
Most, but not all, successful people get up early. They leap from their beds and get the most important work done before the sun rises.
If meetings and routine work duties prevent you from accomplishing priority tasks, get an early start. Begin - and finish - your most essential work before everyone else arrives and the telephone starts ringing. .

Sleep Less
Reducing your sleep time by 30 minutes each day will give you 7-1/2 extra days a year.
Remember, however, that each individual has a unique demand for sleep. The average sleep require¬ment for a young, healthy adult is just a few minutes under eight hours. As we age, we require less sleep.
Know Your Rhythms
Determine your most productive time and reserve it for prime projects. Don't spend your best hours on rou¬tine tasks such as answering mail and reading reports.
