Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington Quotes

The challenge is not to manage time, but to manage ourselves.

What I need is a search engine that, no matter what I type in, comes back with GO BACK TO WORK.

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

I discovered that the best thing for me was to be very busy all the time. I can get a lot done, and I can do those tasks well.

I take care of business.

Do one thing at a time. Start the day with a list of things you have to do, and do the most important things first. Even if you don't get the list done, you've gotten the most important things done. So many people spend so much time on things that aren't important.

The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done.

It's just one day at a time. I love multi-tasking and I'm really organized and when you have a certain work ethic, which all the girls have, we all have that same thing going on.

The real key is time management and being able to focus on what you need to, on using every available minute to accomplish something that needs to be done.

Have a time and place for everything, and do everything in its time and place, and you will not only accomplish more, but have far more leisure than those who are always hurrying.

...We need to strive to keep things in proper balance. Good balance comes in doing things in a timely way and in not procrastinating our preparation or waiting to fulfill our responsibilities until the last minute.

You don't need more time in your day. You need to decide.

Nothing adds to a person's leisure time like doing things when they are supposed to be done.

People with good work habits have to-do lists that are reasonably prioritized, and they make themselves do what needs to be done. By contrast, people with poor work habits almost randomly react to the stuff that comes at them, or they can't bring themselves to do the things they need to do but don't like to do (or are unable to do).

I do the unpleasant tasks before I do the pleasant ones.

If you give yourself to your task at once, you won't have to do it twice.

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

Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.

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 don't get distracted until the weight of other things left undone finally tips the balance; my mind is flooded with calls, bills, supermarkets, letters, and I have to stop and sort things out.

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

Successful people understand the value of time. Once they commit to doing something, they would never cancel.

I keep lists of names of people that I have met, a list of things to do day by day as well as a log of how my time is consumed throughout the day. It's a very important part of my personal discipline.

One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.

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