| How to Live on 24 Hours a Day It's incredible to think that it's almost 100 years since Bennett first wrote this timeless classic, and unearthed the universal principles that govern how we spend our time, and ultimately our lives. He wrote that time is the most precious of commodities. He said that many books have been written on how to live on a certain amount of money each day, but not on how to live on a set amount of time. And he added that the old adage "Time is money" understates the matter, as time can often produce money, but money cannot produce more time. Time is extremely limited, and Bennett urged others to make the best of the time remaining in their lives. This
book has seen increased appeal in recent years due to the explosion of the self
improvement phenomenon, and many have noted that the book has much relevance in
today's world. Discover Bennett's timeless wisdom for yourself by downloading

A short message from Guy

Dear Friend,
In today's hi-tech, full on world it can be tempting to think that the answers to keeping on top of everything and getting everything done while still creating a meaningful life for ourselves are ever more illusive and complex.
Hello,I'm Guy Insull and I'd like to welcome you to our site.Sometimes it's the simple things which can have the biggest impact on us and this was certainly the case for me when I first discovered the profound, timeless wisdom in the writings of Arnold Bennett.
I know what it's like to feel time pressured, and to feel that no matter how hard I worked or how many hours I put in that life was still somehow passing me by. Having had a career with a major Bank in the City of London, and more recently with a major Blue Chip consumer corporation, I also know that sinking feeling of trying to achieve balance in life, as you are never really "off the job" while building a career is still a major goal.And we are all taught that it is good to have goals in the major areas of our lives - better health and fitness, more money, better relationships, a bigger house, better holidays and so on - and all this we attempt to cram in to our meagre 24 hours a day.No wonder we feel stressed most of the time!!
I came across Bennett's work almost by chance - a short quote in a contemporary time management book I was reading. I have read probably more than 200 books on Management and Self Development in an effort to improve my lot in life, and to cope with the stresses and strains of building a successful career, but it was the nugget of wisdom in Bennett's "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day" that really changed my life and the way I'd always thought about time.
What he points out is elegantly simple and yet so often misunderstood or overlooked by most people - that we all have all the time there is - no more and no less than anyone else. And it doesn't matter how much money we have, or how clever we are, we can't get ourselves a single second more than anyone else.
You cannot save time, and you can't borrow any either. All you have is the passing moment, and the sum total of your life will be determined by how you choose to spend each of these passing moments. Perhaps even more profound is the realisation that regardless of how we have used (or abused) our time up until this point in our lives, tomorrow will be filled with another 24 hours for us to do with as we will...And that's the really exciting thing - the thought that each day brings a new opportunity and a new adventure.
That we are not held by the chains of our past, and we can create the life we want at any time - simply by taking conscious control of our time. These principles have dramatically turned my life in an exciting new direction.
I have enjoyed more success and happiness in the last few years than in my entire life combined. All of the resources recommended on this site have been personally used by me and they are resources that have brought me to this point in my journey.I hope How to Live on 24 Hours a Day will have an equally strong impact on your life and I hope you will return often to our website.I look forward to our journey together.
Sincerely,
Guy
