If you calculate 15 minutes a day to shave, that is 5,000 minutes a year spent shaving.

Time is kind of an amazing thing because you can do so much with it. I think people underestimate time… I don’t want to just sit on my phone for hours.

I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college; I was too busy enjoying myself.

It’s time to fundamentally change the way that we do business in Washington. To help build a new foundation for the 21st century, we need to reform our government so that it is more efficient, more transparent, and more creative. That will demand new thinking and a new sense of responsibility for every dollar that is spent.

Housework, if you do it right, will kill you.

It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.

Managers today have to do more with less, and get better results from limited resources, more than ever before.

The training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it.

Well, I’m working all the time to stay out of trouble!

In one day, I have times where I’m feeling great, I feel like I love my life, and then 2:30 rolls around and I’m the angriest man alive. My wife sees it.

I have a little bit of that gamer spirit in me. I just don’t have the time to be a gamer. But in another life, I would be one.

Whenever I counsel someone who feels called to be an evangelist, I always urge them to guard their time and not feel like they have to do everything.

We must use time creatively.

We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‚to do‘ list.

When someone is impatient and says, ‚I haven’t got all day,‘ I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day?

Too many people treat parenting like it’s the 20th item on their to-do list.

The kids are a big part of my schedule.

My theory is 98 percent of all human endeavor is killing time.

I’m just wanting to make the proper breakfast and keep the house. That’s my passion. At the request of my kids, I’m taking cooking classes. As I go to sleep at night, I think, ‚Did I do a great job as a mom, or was that an average day?‘

Better never than late.

Beware the hobby that eats.

My theory on housework is, if the item doesn’t multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one else cares. Why should you?

If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.

All great achievements require time.

I don’t get up, get dressed, go out, and think, ‚Okay, I gotta find eight jokes.‘

That nice, soft pillow and the warm blanket, and it’s all comfortable, and no one wants to leave that comfort – but if you can wake up early in the morning, get a head start on everyone else that’s still sleeping, get productive time doing things that you need to do – that’s a huge piece to moving your life forward.

I’ve spent too much time giving speeches, traveling the world.

Leisure is the time for doing something useful. This leisure the diligent person will obtain the lazy one never.

Working out anchors my day.

The only way to be sure of catching a train is to miss the one before it.

The bottom line is, when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities, not only are they many times more productive, they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.

He that rises late must trot all day.

Move fast with stable infrastructure.

And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We’re always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it’s only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.

How did it get so late so soon? Its night before its afternoon. December is here before its June. My goodness how the time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?

This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

I don’t go to bed at 1 A.M. and wake up at 5 A.M. and say, ‚Let’s see if I can get this done today.‘

One of the best mental disciplines for people to implement is simply putting together a schedule or a task list and actually executing it. Write the list or the schedule the night before, and then do what you said you would do. Life becomes much better when you do that.

Just on a practical side, if you wake up early in the morning – like at 4:30 in the morning – you’re going to have some free time to yourself to make things happen, to take care of things that are important to you.

The moment someone asks you to do something you don’t have the time or inclination to do is fraught with vulnerability.

Nature does nothing in vain.

The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.

Your greatest asset is your earning ability. Your greatest resource is your time.

No man goes before his time – unless the boss leaves early.

I have wasted my hours.

I had a period in my life where I decided that I would never be bored again and that, if I had any free time at all, I would make plans, and I would always be doing things. It actually was great for a year or so, but then I lost all of my friends.

Effective philanthropy requires a lot of time and creativity – the same kind of focus and skills that building a business requires.

The one who adapts his policy to the times prospers, and likewise that the one whose policy clashes with the demands of the times does not.

Training and resting takes up most of my time.

I could not do what I do, and teach a class, and never miss a deadline, never be late for anything if I was a lush, OK? I would really love to read a piece that said, ‚He is not a lush.‘ That would be fabulous, it would be a first, I could show it to people and say, ‚Look!‘

The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.

What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.

Do I dare set forth here the most important, the most useful rule of all education? It is not to save time, but to squander it.

I’ve been known to have a good step or two. I’m half Samoan, you know, and part of our culture is singing and dancing daily.

Nothing extraordinary happens to a cricketer if you time his career – which is very short.

A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man’s life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.

Hobbies are apt to run away with us, you know; it doesn’t do to be run away with. We must keep the reins.

A bachelor’s life is a fine breakfast, a flat lunch, and a miserable dinner.

There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.

I tweet in the morning and the evening. To write 12 hours a day, there is a moment when you’re really tired. It’s my relaxing time.
