Cervantes, paraphrase, "you're traveling the streets of 'by and by'
which lead to the house of 'never'.

If you are wasting time on an idea, write it down and go on to
something else, you can always come back to that thought after
you have accomplished something. If you are always behind in
your chores, then there are probably two main reasons for this.
One is you are doing too much or the other is you are very
disorganized.

Lorayne suggests, "if you have a lot to do, do the things that can
wait, first and then do the urgent ones." He thinks that if you know
you have something that is urgent that needs to be done, you will
do the less important ones faster.

He says, "Although you may constantly complain that you have
no time, you always find time for the things you're really interested
in, the things you want to do." He suggests you "get yourself
interested in the things you feel you should do and you'll do 'em."

Someone once said, "Lose an hour in the morning and you will
be all day seeking it."

"It's just as easy to get out of bed the first time the alarm
rings as it is to set for another five or ten minutes.

Once you are in the habit of starting things on time, you
should make it a practice to allow a little more time for
any particular thing that you think necessary. Ex ...If you
think it will take an hour allow yourself one hour and fifteen
minutes, at least. Then if the chore really only takes an hour,
you can start your next chore earlier and have your "cushion"
at the beginning of the next job."

If you give yourself that 'cushion' you won't feel so rushed
and you could eventually end up with an hour or more
of extra time a day. Also make sure you schedule
recreation time into your days. John Wanamaker
(an innovative department store owner) once said, "People
who cannot find time for recreation are obliged sooner
or later to find time for illness."

As Harry Lorayne believes, "plan and organize your time
to meet the requirements of any given activity....any activity
is a better recreation than just loafing... the busier
you are the more leisure you'll have!"

"Don't let yesterday use up too much of today." Will Rogers
(humorist, actor, etc.)
"Use today's allotment of time for today or for planning for
tomorrow --- yesterday had it's chance."
"The greatest of all sacrifices is the sacrifice of time!"
Plutarch (Greek historian)
