Eleanor Roosevelt의 시간관리법
미국의 4선 대통령 프랭클린 D. 루스벨트의 부인 Elanor Roosevelt(1884-1962)는 정치가, 외교관, 사회할동가로, 또 First Lady로서 여러모로 매우 바쁜가운데 활발히 활동했으면서도 또한 문필가로서도 그 이름이 알려져 있다.
그녀가 저술하여 1960년에 출판한 ‘You Learn by Living’이라는 책에 실린 “The Uses of Time’에 실린 그녀만의 시간관리법 네가지를 여기 소개한다.
Elanor Roosevelt는 미국에서 가장 오랜동안(1933-1945) 재임한 미국의 First Lady로서 미국의 대통령 Harry S. Truman은 그녀를 “First Lady of the World”라고 부르며 그녀의 인권신장운동에 기여한 지대한 공로에 대한 헌사에서 그녀의 업적을 칭송하였다.
빠쁜 가운데 생활하는 우리가 한번쯤은 생각해 볼 가치가 있는 시간관리법이라 생각된다.

[Essay in My Heart]
Time Management by Eleanor Roosevelt
Elanor Roosevelt (1884-1962), wife of the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, was a politician, diplomat, social activist, and First Lady.
Here are four of her own time management tips from ‘The Uses of Time,’ a book she wrote and published in 1960 called ‘You Learn by Living.’
1. Maintain a good inner calm so that you can work regardless of what is happening around me.
2. Focus on the things you need to do now.
3. Plan your daily tasks well in advance of what tasks will be done at what time of day, and all the to-dos, but at the same time, plan flexibly in case something unexpected happens.
4. Try to make the best use of your energy whenever you need it to maintain good health, which plays a very important role in using your time.
Elanor Roosevelt was America's longest-serving First Lady (1933-1945) of the longest-serving 4-time US President Franklin D. Roosevelt who was her husband. Harry S. Truman called her “First Lady of the World” in praising her profound contribution to the movement for human rights.
I think it is a time management method worth thinking about at least once in our busy lives.
