Dan Millman Quotes

Write down the most important things you have to do tomorrow.

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.

I just think there are enough hours in the day. If you just focus and dedicate yourself and approach each task as it presents itself, you can accomplish a lot.

I've learned time management, organization and I have priorities.

I have a crazy amount of different jobs, so the way I manage that is to not do more than one at a time. It's like old computers that had small memory chips, they would do something called swapping, where they would fill the memory with one task, do it and get it out.

Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand.

Time management is really key for me.

One of the nice things about being busy is it makes you focus on what's important to you and how you use your time.

The secret to multitasking is that it isn't actually multitasking. It's just extreme focus and organization.

When people look at all the things I do, they say it's overwhelming, but I don't feel overwhelmed. I get it done. I'm very organized, and it's all tied together.

You've just got to focus on what you have to do.

I mean time management is a big factor in my life. I'm a very organized person. You can only do one thing at a time, so that's the main way I do everything. When I'm with my kids, I'm with my kids. When I'm directing a movie, I'm directing a movie. When I'm making Magic Mike, I'm making Magic Mike. So you just really have to fragment and focus.

You can't work on 15 problems at the same time.

Boundary setting is really a huge part of time management.

You can have fun, but when it is time to work, work hard and be focused.

This is the key to time management - to see the value of every moment.

I try to compartmentalize as much as possible, and I have the most amazing team in the world. They really set up my time in a way that is completely efficient all the time.

With my responsibilities comes having to manage my time more efficiently.

You have to make one thing a priority and achieve balance that way, rather than trying to do everything all at once.

Time = Life, Therefore, waste your time and waste of your life, or master your time and master your life.

Also, I'm always learning better and better how to prioritize and how to leave certain things for the next day.

There are people who literally cannot start a project until the deadline is four hours away, even if it's a big one. And those people have a serious problem. My recommendation is set up mini-deadlines. You might say, 'Okay, here's my deadline after three days for this and there's another deadline for that and then a third deadline.'

Deadlines aren't bad. They help you organize your time. They help you set priorities. They make you get going when you might not feel like it.

I need to start honing in on projects that I want to devote my time to and not put my energies into the unattainable ones.

The ability to concentrate and to use time well is everything.
