“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.”
— Annie Dillard, The Writing Life
We all have a list of things that we want to accomplish. And probably a bigger list of things that require our attention. And, if we’re honest, an even longer list of items that others need from us.
When we make time, we take time from other items that could be consuming our attention. The economic principle of opportunity costs. What we are giving up.
Remember: The most successful people are generally those who eliminate the unnecessary from their lives.
