What Are You Thinking?
What would be your reaction if someone said to you "In the next 24 hours you will be given $10,000 for every chair you sell like the one you are sitting on right now?"How many time management issues will you have?

Probably will not take the time to be staring out the window or watching the grass grow!Seriously, in that situation would time management be an issue for you?
