James Clear, one of the few “self-help” authors, I actually read and follow, has this to say on time management:

[Mary Beth Keane][3] on how she decides what to write about, > How to choose one’s subject is so incredibly personal. A writing professor of mine at the University of Virginia once gave my workshop the best advice.

Some ideas SEEM great, but leave me cold when I think too much about them. It’s the ones that make my heart beat faster that are the ones to pursue, I’ve learned. You have to pick something that you’re going to want to stick with for *years*.
