• What is the mission of my life?
• How can I improve my welfare?
• How can I manage more?
• How can I fulfill my dreams?
• I feel I am not effective in my life – how can I change it?
• How can I balance career and family life?

To answer these questions it is very important to join two philosophies: the opinion of the Western world of improving life conditions and of the Eastern or Oriental world on the role and importance of the personal mission.

According to Oriental cultures personal improvement, i.e., increasing personal effectiveness in every respect, is the basis for intellectual development. However, the Western world concentrates on time management, i.e., goal setting and time planning. Which is better? TimeMentor(tm) specialists think that neither of these opinions is complete when separate, but they should be balanced, i.e., it is necessary to balance planning and effectiveness, work and private life.

What does being happy mean? What does being in harmony with oneself mean? There are many philosophies on the necessity to plan and balance one's life, be effective. Unfortunately these opinions end at a philosophic level – we sometimes are philosophic about these questions, but take no action. TimeMentor(tm) aims at assisting in order to promote activity, give practical tools. We have been helping thousands of professionals by offering free advice on time management, work-life balance as well as increasing personal effectiveness in a language that is easily understandable.
