Wow, time flies! And work schedules should be there to help us - or not? So - who is controlling who? Do you control your schedule, or is your schedule controlling you? DON'T LET YOUR SCHEDULE MANAGE YOU Client interactions, business administration, private life, community - they all need to be managed, so it all works out.
