		<description><![CDATA[Procrastination is fatal for someone who wants to manage his time better and take control of his life.  Procrastination is akin to setting fire to your own home, cutting your favourite suit into shreds, and crashing your Porsche onto your neighbour&#8217;s hedge.  It is self-sabotage, plain and simple &#8211; so why do people do it?

		<description><![CDATA[Saying no is perhaps one of the hardest things to do.  Helping other people out is good and pleasing other people is nice, so yes is almost always our default answer.  It becomes even harder to say no when faced with confusing statements.  &#8220;Don&#8217;t you want to help your friend?&#8221;, &#8220;Don&#8217;t you want to invest [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Human beings, just like any other organism, depend on a cycle of feedback and response, work and rest.  Viewed this way, our highly developed mind can work either for us or against us.  After all, it is our ability to think that has allowed us to adapt to and control our environment to some extent.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It would surprise most people to know that the Pareto Principle has applications that go far beyond time management.  In fact Vilfredo Pareto, for whom the principle is named, merely described the income distribution of Italy; he observed that 80% of the total wealth of this country is held by only 20% of its total [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The answer is:  It depends on how you use this resource.  As with many other things, time is indeed a double-edged sword.  Some people use it to reach for the stars while others use it to dig their own graves.  Like money, we can invest it, spend it, waste it, or hoard it.  Just like [...]]]></description>
