Self-assessment on a daily basis is an effective way to manage our time. At the end of each day, take stock of the things you have done and assess whether these things were worth spending time on. Be truthful about how much time was spent or wasted and discover ways of doing the work within a shorter period the next time you attempt a similar assignment. This is what diligence is. Being smart! It is the ability to meticulously accomplish a task within the shortest possible time. Just as practice makes perfect, practice entails finding better and faster ways of doing the same thing.
