Time

Time's glory is to calm contending kings, To unmask falsehood and bring truth to light, To stamp the seal of time in aged things, To wake the morn of sentinel the night, To wrong the wronger till he render right, To ruinate proud buildings with thy hour And smear with dust their glittering golden towers.

- William Shakespeare

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.
