The author interviewed clinical psychologists, governmental leaders and successful business people to arrive at ways and means of making the clock work more favorably for you. There are wise observations from such as da Vinci, Churchill, Einstein, Ovid, Sandburg and others. Join the “putter-offers” for success and happiness.
Since the 1700s we’ve been plagued by Lord Chesterfield’s admonition, “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” This text refutes that with ways to manage time without letting it manage you.

What Advice Would You Give Aspiring Writers?
What do you like to read? What, if any, is your area of expertise? How good are you at explaining it to others? Do you have specific topic matter in mind? These questions and many others inevitably arise but once you have settled on what you like to write then do it and keep writing, writing, writing! Even that is just a beginning.
