I have no time to think about other writers. I am too busy with my own problems.
Harper LeeWe 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.
Jocko WillinkIt takes up enough of my time and interest just working on comedy. I just enjoy it and love doing it.
Jerry SeinfeldIt has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.
Henry FordAt 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.
Herbert HooverA veteran journalist has never had time to think twice before he writes.
George Bernard ShawTime is money.
Benjamin FranklinThe years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.
George EliotIt is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?
Henry David ThoreauA lot of times, people have something that they’re afraid of. They’ve got a client that’s mad at them. They’ve got a project that’s due. And they let that stress hang over their head. I don’t let that happen.
Jocko WillinkTo build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.

Abby Lee MillerWithout music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.
Frank ZappaLife is not long, and too much of it must not pass in idle deliberation how it shall be spent.
Samuel JohnsonThe only way to be sure of catching a train is to miss the one before it.
Gilbert K. ChestertonSometimes if you got a problem deep rooted in your life, it takes a little bit of time to overcome it in that area.

Mark ZuckerbergThe time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.
Bertrand RussellThe least productive people are usually the ones who are most in favor of holding meetings.
Thomas SowellTime 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.
Billie EilishOne today is worth two tomorrows.
Benjamin FranklinI am so busy doing nothing… that the idea of doing anything – which as you know, always leads to something – cuts into the nothing and then forces me to have to drop everything.
Jerry SeinfeldMost people don’t have time to master the very mathematical details of theoretical physics.
Stephen HawkingIf you want to be more productive, then start at the start: get there on time. Whether it is a meeting, a flight, an appointment or a date, it’s important to ensure you are there when you say you will be there. This may feel like an old-fashioned tip to give, but it has served me well for five decades in business.
Richard BransonThere is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!

Ray BradburyShort cuts make long delays.
J. R. R. TolkienIt’s tough to go to sleep at night, and I wake up after five hours because I feel like I’m wasting time. I just sit up at night and think about what I can do next.
Dave GrohlI actually thought that it would be a little confusing during the same period of your life to be in one meeting when you’re trying to make money, and then go to another meeting where you’re giving it away. I mean is it gonna erode your ability, you know, to make money? Are you gonna somehow get confused about what you’re trying to do?
Bill GatesTime stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
Leonardo da VinciTraining and resting takes up most of my time.
Sunil ChhetriThe end of labor is to gain leisure.

Tom BradyI have to admit, I sometimes wonder how much more successful I would have been as a coach had it not been for my spending summers on the golf course. I could have watched more film, that’s for sure. One advantage Joe Paterno had over me was that he didn’t play golf.
Lou HoltzDost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
Benjamin FranklinYou can write a short story in two hours. Two hours a day, you have a novel in a year.
Ray BradburyIt is even better to act quickly and err than to hesitate until the time of action is past.
Carl von ClausewitzThat 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.
Jocko WillinkDevote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheIt needs time. Nobody wants to hear it, but that’s the truth: if you want to have success in the future, you have to be ready to work now.
Jurgen KloppThe average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don’t have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.

Niccolo MachiavelliBetter never than late.
George Bernard ShawBy the time you get dressed, drive out there, play 18 holes and come home, you’ve blown seven hours. There are better things you can do with your time.
Richard M. NixonWriting is fun – at least mostly. I write for four hours every day. After that I go running. As a rule, 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). That’s easy to manage.
Haruki MurakamiWe 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.
Frank OceanMy 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?
