Brian Tracy Quotes

Your ability to select your most important task at each moment, and then to get started on that task and to get it done both quickly and well, will probably have more of an impact on your success than any other quality or skill you can develop.

When you make a to-do list, you should also make a to-not-do list. Warren Buffet was asked about the secret to success, and he said that it was saying no to almost everything. Some of those little tasks won't matter as long as you get the big tasks done.

There just isn't enough time for everything on our 'to do' list - and there never will be. Successful people don't try to do everything. They learn to focus on the most important tasks and make sure they get done.

Being successful doesn't make you manage your time well. Managing your time well makes you successful!

There is never enough time to do everything, but there is always enough time to do the most important thing.

The essence of the best thinking in the area of time management (practice planning) can be captured in a single phrase: Organize and execute around priorities

People who use time wisely spend it on activities that advance their overall purpose in life.

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.

As all entrepreneurs know, you live and die by your ability to prioritize. You must focus on the most important, mission-critical tasks each day and night, and then share, delegate, delay or skip the rest.

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

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.

Time management is really key for me.

I do not want to waste any time. And if you are not working on important things, you are wasting time.

From a productivity perspective, prioritization is key. And it's very easy to focus on clearing the decks of minutia, especially when one's very busy.
