There is no such thing as time management; there is only self-management.

Inaction that results from indulgence is Procrastination. Inaction that results rom intention is Patience. Procrastinate with Purpose is a synonym for Patience.

What are all the things you are doing that you shouldn’t be doing?

A reluctant yes is more of a disservice than a favor.

You are *always* saying no to something. Any time you say yes to one thing, you are simultaneously saying no to something else. You *cannot* say yes without also implicitly saying no.

Most Multipliers have a general distaste for e-mail and view it as a way of ‘organizing other people’s priorities’ rather than as a tool to help them focus on what is Significant.

What do you need to give yourself permission to concentrate on? How would concentrating on that create more opportunity for those around you?

Until you accomplish your next most Significant priority, *everything* else is a distraction.

We need to spend to stop spending so much of our time trying to make the *right* decisions and instead start spending our time making decisions and then *making them* right.

Create a clear picture of what you want in the long run and you will find that your endurance for pain and strife, discipline and hard work will naturally increase to levels you never thought you had. A new world will open up for you—a world where you can have anything you want . . . as long as you commit.

You overcome perfectionism by insisting not on stellar results, but on stellar effort. Hold yourself to those standards, and your success is guaranteed.

You are much more likely to act your way into healthy thinking than to think your way into healthy acting.

One thing that is certain is we definitely don’t pay *attention* to things we don’t first give our *intention* to.

It may be true that it’s unlikely for us to stick to a perfect schedule. But one thing we know for sure is that if you don’t know what your ideal week looks like, you will never have one.

Get relentless about putting your self-esteem into your work habits instead of your results.

The real secret to success has more to do with action than attraction. We just don’t talk about it as much because it doesn’t sell as well.

Successful people have all had to do things they didn’t feel like doing in order to get where they are.

Self-discipline is the simplest and fastest way to make life as easy as possible.
