"Look at what you claim to value and then compare that list to the realities of your schedule."
— Craig Ballantyne and Austin Gillis, The Perfect Week Formula
"Good habits and virtues are eternal joy-making qualities."
— Paramahansa Yogananda, Living Fearlessly
"Because in reality your time is finite, doing anything requires sacrifice—the sacrifice of all the other things you could have been doing with that stretch of time. If you never stop to ask yourself if the sacrifice is worth it, your days will automatically begin to fill not just with more things, but with more trivial or tedious things. One can waste years this way, systematically postponing precisely the things one cares about the most."
- Oliver Burkeman, Four Thousand Weeks
"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
"Each of us must cultivate a moral code, a higher standard that we love almost more than life itself. Each of us must sit down and ask: What’s important to me? What would I rather die than betray? How am I going to live today?"
- Marie Forleo, Everything is Figureoutable
"Clarity is freedom. Know what is important to you and it will grant you the freedom to ignore everything else."
- James Clear
“The power of your why is what will power you to overcome any obstacle and achieve the seemingly impossible.”

"Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls — family, health, friends, integrity — are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered."
- James Patterson, Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas
"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least."
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“You can always get more money, but you can never get more time.”
- From Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell
“When you plan your week, ask yourself whether your Values are represented on your calendar.”
- From Time Management Essentials by Anna Dearmon Kornick
“If it’s important enough, I’ll make the time. If not, I’ll make an excuse.”
- From Everything is Figureoutable by Marie Forleo
“One of the strange things about human beings is that they value only that which has a price.”
- From Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
“When you pay attention to something you don’t especially value, it’s not an exaggeration to say that you’re paying with your life.”
- From Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman
“Does your calendar reflect your values? To be the person you want to be, you have to make time to live your values.”
- Nir Eyal
“Control what you can, cope with what you can’t, and concentrate on what really matters in your life.”
- Craig Ballantyne
