24 hours.
Everyone gets the same set of 24 every day.
Everyone spends them a little differently, of course, but some people have a knack for cramming more activities into them than the typical desktop calendar can hold.
Twenty such people fill these pages.
Although their backgrounds, occupations, community work and hobbies vary widely, the common thread that winds its way through the stories and bios is their top-notch time-management skills.
That they can have such demanding jobs, spend a lot of time serving the community and still have time left over for hobbies and quality time spent with friends and family members is inspiring.  
Time waits for no one, but it sure seems to slow down quite a bit for the 2014 20 Under 40 class.
Reading through their stories and question-and-answer passages, you’ll notice that they don’t seem to spend what precious little free time they have rooted to their couches, feeding a “Candy Crush” addiction or standing in line at Chipotle.
Some even questioned what free time is.
I seriously question how much sleep they’re getting.
Congratulations to all of this year’s 20 Under 40 winners.
We’ll gladly take any tips you can offer about how to beat the clock.
