"Do fewer things. You will never get caught up. You will never be able to do everything on your list. To get control of your life you must stop doing an enormous number of small things. Do more important things. Do the top three tasks that you have identified, and nothing else, until you have no more of those major tasks to do. Do your most important tasks more of the time, preferably all day long. The more time you spend doing the most important things, the more productive you will be on the outside and the happier you will feel on the inside."

— Brian Tracy, Time Management

"Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus."

- Gary Keller, The ONE Thing

"Be ruthless about what you ignore. Time, energy, and resources are so precious. You have to be ferocious about cutting your priorities—more than you realize and certainly more than is comfortable. You can only deeply commit to a few things. One or two? Maybe three? Every pretty good, sorta nice, kinda fun thing you abandon is like shedding a weighted vest that lets you move at top speed. You were so busy focusing on how much you could carry, you never realized you could run this fast."

— James Clear

"Focus on the process (the way you spend your time) instead of the product (what you want to accomplish)."

- Barbara Oakley

"Every decision to use a portion of time on anything represents the sacrifice of all the other ways in which you could have spent that time, but didn’t—and to willingly make that sacrifice is to take a stand, without reservation, on what matters most to you."

- Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks

“People can't really multitask; all we can do is shift attention back and forth between tasks while wasting a lot of it on each shift.”

- Cal Newport, Digital Minimalism

"You will never be able to do everything on your list. To get control of your life you must stop doing an enormous number of small things. Do your most important tasks more of the time, preferably all day long. The more time you spend doing the most important things, the more productive you will be on the outside and the happier you will feel on the inside."

— Brian Tracy, Time Management

"Clarity breeds confidence and action."

— Craig Ballantyne, The Dark Side of Discipline

— Anthony Rao and Dr. Paul Napper, Power of Agency

"Clarity is freedom. Know what is important to you and it will grant you the freedom to ignore everything else."

- Laura Vanderkam, Off the Clock

"Clarity is probably 95 percent of success."

- Brian Tracy, Time Management

"Being specific about what you want and how you will achieve it helps you say no to things that derail progress, distract your attention, and pull you off course."

- James Clear, Atomic Habits
