Nico Smit

Everybody has the same day and most people spend five hours of it in front of a television. Nico Smit refuses the excuse about not having time and says so bluntly. You are not short of hours, you are ordering them badly, and the difference between people who get somewhere and people who do not sits exactly there.

The family post is the softer counterweight and the better piece. He grew up without luxuries but with parents at every match and a proper meal each evening with the television off, and he asks whether working harder to give children what you lacked quietly takes away the thing you actually had.

He follows the news too, on a giving pledge among the very wealthy, on a pope resigning, on a meteor over Russia. Those posts are reported rather than argued.

Read the family post first. It gives the time management one its point.
