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

We all run on two clocks. One is the outside clock, which ticks away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry season.

Sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the motions of living.

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.
