If you find yourself never having time to do the things you want, or if you find yourself procrastinating a lot, or in any way abusing time on a regular basis, then I'd highly recommend you take two-and-a-half hours out of a week, and watch these two amazing lectures by a former Computer Science professor at Carnegie Mellon, Randy Pausch.

Last Lecture
Time Management

You'll never be the same.

My family gave me the book a few years back and the video of the lecture is amazing. It's a tearjerker for sure and full of great advice. I'll definitely check out the one on time management.
