Have you ever con­sid­ered whether the tim­ing of your actions is just right? There’s a lot we can learn from other people’s suc­cess, and this morn­ing I was think­ing of George Soros­the wis­est investor of all. George has man­aged to achieve unprece­dented lev­els of finan­cial suc­cess in the global mar­kets, regard­less of whether we are in a bear or a bull mar­ket. How does he do it? Accord­ing to some­one who knows what he’s talk­ing about (not me!), George achieves this through get­ting the tim­ing of his actions just right.

If you’re like me and enjoy learn­ing from other’s peo­ples suc­cess, this arti­cle will give you food for thought. I am includ­ing 5 ques­tions that should pro­vide a qual­ity start­ing point for your own reflec­tions on whether your time man­age­ment is right or not:

1. Are you spend­ing the right amount of time with your loved ones?
2. Are you invest­ing 20% of your time or more on your most impor­tant goals?
3. Are you sav­ing any time by learn­ing how to do some­thing (any­thing!) bet­ter, cheaper or faster?
4. Are you exer­cis­ing often enough and for long enough?
5. Are you giv­ing your­self a break often enough and long enough to recover from the daily grind?

I would love to hear your answers to these ques­tions (please use the com­ments section below). In the mean­time, I would really appre­ci­ate if you can help me get the tim­ing of these arti­cles right. Below is a quick poll that will assist me in deter­min­ing the best fre­quency for pub­lish­ing new arti­cles. If you can spare 10 sec­onds, please read the options and choose the most appro­pri­ate one. In return, I will ensure I care­fully con­sider the feed­back I receive and adjust in the most appro­pri­ate way.
