Quotes

So we’re going to begin this book at the beginning. You can’t manage time. There’s no point trying. What you can manage is your attention, and it’s an even more subtle skill to learn.

Pay attention. Wisely. Time might be spent, but attention still needs to be paid. Look after this currency, as it’s the most valuable currency in the world
pfjckdsvhas quoted10 months ago
the ability to be present, in the moment, focusing your attention only on the one thing you want to focus it on. Most people experience this fleetingly, usually in moments where you’re up against a deadline and that deadline means you forget your hunger, you forget the other 10,000 things you could be doing at that moment and you’re 100 per cent engaged in the work.
