Invest the first hour of the day, the ‘Golden Hour,’ in yourself.
A goal or decision without a deadline has no urgency. It has no real beginning or end.
Move fast. A sense of urgency is the one thing you can develop that will separate you from everyone else. When you get a good idea, do it now.
Define your goals in terms of the activities necessary to achieve them, and concentrate on those activities.
Time management is really personal management, life management, and management of yourself.
Time management requires self-discipline, self-mastery and self-control more than anything else.
One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for 1,000 years. To read is to voyage through time.
Live one day at a time. Keep your attention in present time. Have no expectations. Make no judgements. And give up the need to know why things happen as they do. Give it up!
My advice is to never do tomorrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time.
I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.
Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.
The time is now, the place is here. Stay in the present. You can do nothing to change the past, and the future will never come exactly as you plan or hope for.
Most things which are urgent are not important, and most things which are important are not urgent.
Don’t let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.
Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.
Welcome to the present moment. Here. Now. The only moment there ever is.
Today is mine. Tomorrow is none of my business. If I peer anxiously into the fog of the future I will strain my spiritual eyes so that I will not see clearly what is required of me now!
The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived – not always looked forward to as though the “real” living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.
Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.
Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
