    Final Thoughts

    Written by John Packard


    I thought I would depart from my usual routine and talk about something a little different in my final thoughts this evening. Time, and time management, have always been big issues in my life. It seemed natural for me to work 80-hour weeks and to think nothing of it. It brought me success in my career and ruined my marriage… So, I have been spending some time thinking of about what is the proper approach to work and time management.

    I stumbled across an article that went back and looked at time management from an ancient philosopher’s perspective. The article title is: How to Be Productive, According to Ancient Philosophy (What Socrates Plato, and Confucius Understood About Time). I have linked to the article if you want to read it in its entirety. I am only going to summarize it for you.
