How many times do you hear someone say “I wish there were more hours in the day” or something along those lines? The fact is that all of us are only given 24 hours. Having said that, how we spend those 24 hours varies radically from person to person. It’s become a bit of a cliche by now but the 24 hours we have is the same 24 hours that Thomas Edison and Mother Theresa had and that Oprah Winfrey and Bill Gates currently have. As the old song goes “It’s in the way that you use it.”

Interesting article by Jon. Below is the summary of the article, the 10 strategies to get a 36 hours day (and my comments ):

Strategy #1: Optimize Your Sleep
- In other words, sleep less…

Strategy #2: Optimize Your Diet
- In other words, eat less.

Strategy #3: Multi Task
- In other words, do many tasks at one time. Will save you a couple of hours, but probably take half of your life away due to stress. Just kidding…. Need proper planning though.

Strategy #4: Get Organized
- No comment, but it never worked on me. I wonder why…

Strategy #5: Improve Your Typing Speed
- I don’t think this is any good to me. I can type pretty fast, above average but my brain can’t think as fast as my typing so I will not benefit from this in report typing. Besides that, it’ll only make me chat longer with friends on MSN or Yahoo. LOL!

Strategy #6: Improve Your Reading Speed
- Will not benefit people like me…who doesn’t read a lot.

Strategy #7: Learn Out Loud
- In other words, learn by audio. Who wants to donate an IPod to me?

Strategy #8: Use Software To Your Advantage
- Go technology!

Strategy #9: Cut Your TV Time in Half
- Very useful advice. Maybe I should through away my TV.

Strategy #10: Get Help from Others
- The best strategy. This way, you’ll steal some of other people’s time, making their day a 12-hour day.
