    Books about the importance of time.

    IDEA 
    I've been really wanting to understand the importance of time. I know the surface level things that entrepreneurs should know (ie time is more valuable than money, how to make returns on your time etc) but I can't seem to find good books talking about how a man should use his time, what things...

    Where do I read about ideas that satisfy the commandment of time?

    QUESTION 
    I would have thought it would be in the "time" tag but that's mostly people talking about how they spend their time. It's not in the "cents" tag or "commandments" tag. I found a tag called "commandment of time" and there's only 3 posts there. To me, "time" is the most important of the...

    You don’t need more time, you just prioritize other things

    The most butthurt people I ever see in my entire life are people who get told they would need to change priorities in order to succeed. “Hey, how do I find time to work on my business?

    The journey to entrepreneurship started!

    INTRO 
    Every journey starts with one decision, one step and in my life it's quitting the college. There are some specific reasons for that and I found freedom through this. This seems hilarious for others, but coming from a middle class family, being a 20-year-old, it's quite hard to convince family...
