Every day is a major balancing act that I have to figure out and coordinate.

I wake up every day inspiring myself, because God gave me life.

A veteran journalist has never had time to think twice before he writes.

I wasted time, and now doth time waste me.

We all know we have a finite period of time. I just feel if I’m going to be alive, I want to be challenged – to be as immortal as possible. The path to that isn’t an easy way, but it’s a rewarding way.

When you want to do your homework, fill out your tax return, or see all the choices for a trip you want to take, you need a full-size screen.

I’ve actually not read any books on time management.

The more sand has escaped from the hourglass of our life, the clearer we should see through it.

Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.

I won’t belong to any organization that would have me as a member.

Tell me I have to be somewhere, and I’ll be there 20 minutes early and stay there longer than anybody else. You hold up a lot of people if you’re not on time.

I have too many clothes, I have too many options.

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.

From the boys‘ point of view, scouting puts them into fraternity-gangs, which is their natural organisation, whether for games, mischief, or loafing; it gives them a smart dress and equipments; it appeals to their imagination and romance; and it engages them in an active, open-air life.

It is unnatural for a majority to rule, for a majority can seldom be organized and united for specific action, and a minority can.

I’m an early riser. I get up between five and six, have coffee, and read for a couple of hours before everyone else gets up.

I have no time to think about other writers. I am too busy with my own problems.

In the successful organization, no detail is too small to escape close attention.

I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.

I just don’t have time to get old!

Do the hard jobs first. The easy jobs will take care of themselves.

I have wasted my hours.

Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.

Try and leave this world a little better than you found it, and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate, you have not wasted your time but have done your best.

The kids are a big part of my schedule.

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?‘

For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‚If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?‘ And whenever the answer has been ‚No‘ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

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.

At 17, I went to Stanford University to study engineering. My time was occupied with the required reading and the extracurricular duties of managing the baseball and football teams and earning my way.

Ya know what I do almost every day? I wash. Personal hygiene is part of the package with me.

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

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.

This is Sunday, and the question arises, what’ll I start tomorrow?

I’m not a health freak. I just work out every day.

When one has a great deal to put into it a day has a hundred pockets.

I’m pretty clean, hygienic and all that, but sometimes when I come home, I throw my coat over there, take one shoe off here, one shoe off there, but I’m not dirty.

Every day I go to my study and sit at my desk and put the computer on. At that moment, I have to open the door. It’s a big, heavy door. You have to go into the Other Room. Metaphorically, of course. And you have to come back to this side of the room. And you have to shut the door.

Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig. I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

Life is not long, and too much of it must not pass in idle deliberation how it shall be spent.

So much of what we do every single day is the result of habits that we have formed over time.

Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.

We record when I have a hole in the schedule. Sometimes night, sometimes afternoon, sometimes morning – we fit it in when we can. I prep for episodes all the time.

I’m bloody awful at multi-tasking.

Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated.

As a country, we can’t teach kids how to read and write when we got 18 years to do it. And that’s – that’s a disgrace.

Every day I pray about all I do.

About half my time is spent on business operation type stuff.

The end of labor is to gain leisure.

I make preparations both to live and to die every day, but with the emphasis on not dying, and on acting as if I was going to carry on living.

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

To love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Prayer is simply talking to God like a friend and should be the easiest thing we do each day.

It is very difficult to get people to focus on the most important things when you’re in boom times.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me.

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

The thing most people don’t pick up when they become an entrepreneur is that it never ends. It’s 24/7.

It wasn’t so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes, much as we all hate to admit it, it’s just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours, so we can pay the bills or do the laundry or just have some peace and quiet for a change.

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

I’m just a kid – I’ve got a lot of stuff to do yet.

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.
