Sample Book Insights:

#1 The author, Robert Kauffman, was a school principal for 21 years. He found that the most important thing he did was not done, and that was to spend time with his best teachers and help those who needed it.

#2 After tracking his time, Kauffman was able to see where he was spending his time and make adjustments. He was spending 51 percent of his time on instructional leadership, which had a positive impact on the students of Hillside.

#3 Tracking and monitoring your time can lead to a surprising mental lightening. It can upgrade your life all the way around, allowing you to be more effective at school and with your family.

#4 The discipline of tracking your time and minding your hours changes the experience of time. It can lead to a savored life. As the Buddhist monk and meditation teacher Bhante Henepola Gunaratana writes in his book Beyond Mindfulness in Plain English, Mindfulness gives you time. Time gives you choices. Choices, skillfully made, lead to freedom.
