One cannot buy, rent or hire more time. The supply of time is totally inelastic. No matter how high the demand, the supply will not go up. There is no price for it.

All work takes place in, and uses up time. Yet most people take for granted this unique, irreplaceable and necessary resource.

Drucker, Peter F.

Russell, Bertrand

The first thing tomorrow morning, start working on an item Number 1, and stay with it until completed. Then take item Number 2 the same way. Then Number 3, and so on. Don't worry if you don't complete everything on the schedule. At least you will have completed the most important projects before getting to the less important ones.
