Martha Stewart Quotes

I never get bored. There isn't enough time in the day for me.

I'm constantly on the go.

On occasion, it's rough for me to sleep because I have a lot of things on my mind, so I'll need to get a little more sleep sometimes. I'm up late because I've got a lot of energy and a lot of things on my mind all the time, and I'm up early 'cause I've got things to do, so that's the only thing. That's how I like it; I like to be busy.

Even though I need only two or three hours' sleep a night, there are never enough hours in the day.

I am rather tired, and no longer young enough to pillage the night to make up for the deficit of hours in the day..." JRR Tolkien, Letter # 174

I'd rather get up early and go out and do something than stay up late and screw up my body.

I would go to work from 9 to 6, go home, nap for two hours, then write from 8 to 2 a.m.

I don't have time to think about age. There are so many things to do.

Every day is intense and alive, whether it's travel, work, even down time, which there is so little of.

I get skinnier if I'm very busy.

There's never enough time to do nothing!

For 10 or 11 years, I had my kids, I wrote four or five books, and I was working all the damn time.

You are right that I don't have a lot of spare time because I love to stay busy and keep my calendar full.

I always keep myself busy. I'm writing. Or I'm creating something. Or I'm doing stuff with the kids. I'm up incredibly early in the morning; I go to bed incredibly late at night.

A schedule so tight that it would only work if I didn't sleep on Monday nights.

I feel like I'm too busy writing history to read it.

I'm not a person who would get up at 5 A.M. to write, but I could sacrifice my Friday night and just order in dinner, sit at home and get into it.

My day starts at 4:30 A.M., and I sort of have two speeds: fast and stop.

Half of the time, I'm walking around a construction site, then I'm transitioning into the evening, having drinks with the girlfriends or meeting with my husband and then racing back home to put the kids to bed. I have less time, so I'm a much more efficient decision maker.

One of the more difficult things is the time. Either you are going 100 miles an hour, or you are sleeping. There is nothing in between.

While I live a busy life, the pace ebbs and flows.

I go to bed early - around 9 P.M. or 10 P.M. - and wake up between 2 A.M. and 5 A.M. and get an extra three hours of work done. Then I have a regular work day. It's very effective.
