Time management is very important to me.  Every morning I check my Yahoo Mail and Google Mail, then I view the following general and financial news sites:

• CNN.com (Good worldwide coverage)
• USAToday.com (Solid US and general news coverage)
• MSN.com (Good general news coverage)
• YahooFinance.com (Good financial coverage and stock price quotes)

I do view other websites, but these are my regulars.  Reviewing and reading these sites provides me with everything I need in just ten minutes.  It helps set me up for the day with the news of the day. 

I will share more sites I find valuable in future posts.
