When you're a busy person, managing your time isn't just important, it's critical.  Here are five ways to save time:

Turn decisions into deadlines:  Deadlines prioritize decisions and galvanize action.  A decision to be made is an intention; a deadline to be met is a commitment.

Act quickly on small decisions:  Don't sweat the small stuff.  Taking action creates momentum and sets direction.

Break down big decisions into smaller decisions:  Get the ball rolling.  Success on smaller decisions builds commitment to the bigger decision.

Be confident:  Demonstrate the strength of your convictions.  Don't look back, until you have met your goal.

Seek excellence, not perfection:  No decision will be perfect.  Be ready to revise and respond to new information, new challenges and new opportunities.  Be ready to continuously improve.
