A great collection of quotes! My favorite is the one by Lord Chesterfield. Sometimes a bird's eye view is the way to go, but it's important to keep the little things in mind too.
Lisa Gessert says
Sabrina!!! Time management is one of my favorite topics, these quotes hit the nail on the head and so inspirational!! Loved the blog and blog topic! Everything begins with great time management!
Nancy Haworth says
Sabrina, thank you for this collection of quotes. I find them inspiring! My favorite is the first quote by Charles Richards, because it is so true. Everyone has the same number of hours in a day, but not everyone uses them wisely. I think planning ahead and mapping out work days really helps me to get a handle on time and be more productive.
Janet Schiesl says
I love all these quotes by Steven Covey quotes. I work best by focusing on my most important thing each morning before doing anything else, sometimes even coffee!
Julie Bestry says
It's interesting that when it comes down to it, the key to all of these quotes is that WE are in the driver's seat. What we accomplish has everything to do with where we put our focus, how we ignore distractions, and whether we buckle down. Depending on one's mood or attitude, this is either fabulous ("Yay, I'm in charge of my destiny!") or terrifying ("Yikes! I'm in charge of my destiny (and there's nobody else to blame)!"
That said, I think the Lao Tzu quote, “To say, ‘I don’t have time' is to say, ‘I don’t want to.” is the reckoning for me. Sure, people with two jobs, small children, elderly parents, and obligations that can't be avoided (unless, I guess, they abandon their families) don't have the level of privilege I have in my singleton life. But for many of us, it really is just what we decide to do.

I agree! Many people do have time to make changes, they just don't want to make it a priority. Small changes when you are "busy" is so much more effective during these times. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. =)
Kim says
Guilty as charged. I am noticing how much time I am wasting these days. These quotes are a great reminder of the power we have to make changes that we want in our lives. I am going to pick one or two as an reminder to myself.
Sabrina Quairoli says
I'm glad these quotes resonated with you, Kim! Time is a precious commodity. We must treasure the time we have and make the most of this life.
Linda Samuels says
I'm a quote collector, and I love the ones you shared about managing time. My favorite one here is Altshuler's, "The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot." This speaks to the preciousness of time and the agency we have over it.
Here are a few favorite time-related quotes from my collection:
"Your life is purchased by where you spend your attention." - James Clear
"Your life and success will not be defined by the nouns your choose. It will be defined by the verbs." - Todd Henry
"The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now." - Proverb
Sabrina Quairoli says
Thanks for sharing these amazing time quotes, Linda!
Seana Turner says
You and I are on the same page today with quotes. These are some great ones! That battle between the urgent and important is one I face all the time. The old "squeaky wheel" often pulls my attention. I need to work harder on that one.
So many to pin!
