- We are all living on borrowed time.
- Time management is learning to neglect the right things.
- Your life is a sum of all the things that compelled your attention.
- Screens and devices distract you from knowing what you really want – or confusing you to want what you really want.
- When we say we have time, all we really know is that we are expecting to have time.
- Most of the important things in life happened when you were not in control of time – they happen by chance or coincidence.
- You should not live your life only for future outcomes.
- Children should live their lives to have fun, not to grow up. “Later” might be too late.
- By trying to make the most of your time, you might just miss out on life.
- Are you holding yourself to a productivity standards that is impossible to fulfill?
- There has to come a point where you accept who you are instead of who you want to be.
- There will come a shocking reality that no one else cares what you accomplish in your life.
- Focus on what you have completed instead of what you have to/want to complete.
- Practice the habit of doing nothing. Technically, it is not trying to manipulate time and letting things be as they are. It will help you to slow down and enjoy the time you are in.
