Don’t waste time waiting for inspiration. Begin, and inspiration will find you.
Time waste differs from material waste in that there can be no salvage. The easiest of all wastes and the hardest to correct is the waste of time, because wasted time does not litter the floor like wasted material.
Something will master and something will serve. Either you run the day or the day runs you; either you run the business or the business runs you.
Time is our most valuable asset, yet we tend to waste it, kill it and spend it rather than invest it.
Never begin the day until it is finished on paper.
Now is the time to fix the next 10 years.
Make measurable progress in reasonable time.
Don’t start the day until you have it finished. Don’t start the week until you have it finished. Don’t start the month until you have it finished. Plan your day.
You spend your time like you spend money. You can waste it or invest it.
Nothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.
One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.
Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.
The longer you wait to do something you should do now, the greater the odds that you will never actually do it.
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
Good things take time, as they should. We shouldn’t expect good things to happen overnight. Actually, getting something too easily or too soon can cheapen the outcome.
They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.
Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream.
There is only one time that is important – NOW! It is the most important time because it is the only time that we have any power.
Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow – that is patience. The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.
The time is ‘now’ to do something – don’t drag your feet.
