Why is managing your own skills and time important?

Time is the most important asset you have. Have you noticed how there are 2 types of time - slow time (when you are doing work or other things you have to do and may not like doing) and fast time (when you are doing the things you love and like). The efficient use of time by employing time management techniques can make you far more effective therefore reducing the slow time, and increasing the amount of fast time you have. e.g. reducing the time you are in work, leaving work on time, reducing wasted time, reducing the amount of time you need to learn or revise for exams; and therefore increasing the amount of free time, listening to music, going out enjoying yourself with friends and family or just relaxing. It can be like winning the lottery, if you do it right.
