10 Guidelines for Time Discipline
by Craig Lock

1. Get up 15 minutes earlier and know what you are going to wear that day.

2. Increase your reading and writing skills...learn to read faster and write notes more promptly.

3. Develop the habit of making good notes. Keep reference notes to guide you in your activities.

4. Be decisive - act fast.

5. Control your telephone habits (self discipline).

6. Don't get bogged down in details. "Don't major in minors." (My friend Bruce, the pastor likes that expression - "good one"). Get the important and hard jobs done first. Have a list of things to do today, prioritise them and get started.

8. Look for short cuts to make things easier for you, ie. work smarter and not necessarily harder.

9. Learn to take a break. One of the worst time stealers is to be harassed and tired.

10. Stop day dreaming and just do it.

"If you are rich, work If you are burdened with seemingly unfair responsibilities, work If you are happy, continue to work Idleness gives room for doubts and fears. If sorrow overwhelms you and loved ones seem not true, work If disappointments come, work. If faith falters and reason fails, just work. When dreams are shattered and hope seems dead, Work, work as if your life were in peril; It really is. No matter what ails you, work. Work faithfully and work with faith, Work is the greatest material remedy available. Work will cure both mental and physical afflictions. Work." - author unknown

Timesheets Lite
by Anita Karlson

Timesheets Lite is a simple project based time tracking system. You create projects and book the time spend on each project. The program can also be used by several users assigned with usernames and passwords. By creating reports you keep track of project progress and see how much to invoice a given client.

You can assign the user different security levels - so not everybody has access to the same functions of the program. Another feature of the program is a live timer letting you time your work whilst you work! The program is very easy to use and has an intuitive user interface.

It runs on the following operating systems: XP/2k/98/ME/NT and it requires VB5 runtime files.
