How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life , by Alan Lakein. The books main point was the necessity of listing short-, medium-, and long-term life goals, then categorizing them in order of their importance, with theA group being the most important, the B group next, and the C the last, then listing under each goal specificactivities designed to achieve them. I still have that paperback book, now almost thirty years old. And Imsure I have that old list somewhere buried in my papers, though I cant find it. However, I do remember the Alist. I wanted to be a good man, have a good marriage and children, have good friends, make a successfulpolitical life, and write a great book." [1]
