Life would be so much simpler if we were not controlled by fear. Fear is one of the biggest reasons people say yes to requests when they would rather say no.

"Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day trying to find it" - Richard Whately

This week the goal is to find ways to make 24 hours in a day enough to get everything done. It is a leveler of the playing field right? each of us has 24 hours in a day. Some people find that is plenty of time to get things done and other people pray for more hours.

Praying isn't going to help, time management is. There are enough hours in the day though. You just need to find them. The place they are best found is in the morning. A morning routine will help you get your things done while also setting your day up for success.
