People are time-consumers. And most people are time-wasters.

The larger the organization, therefore, the less actual time will the executive have.

To get the work done with people (and no other resource is available) therefore requires lots of time, thought, and judgment.

…innovation and change make inordinate time demands on the executive.

…one cannot even think of managing one’s time unless one first knows where it goes.

Time-use does improve with practice. But only constant efforts at managing time can prevent drifting.

…all one has to do is to learn to say “no” if an activity contributes nothing to one’s own organization, to oneself, or to the organization for which it is to be performed.

We usually tend to overrate rather than underrate our importance and to conclude that far too many things can only be done by ourselves.

…much control one can exercise over one’s time if one really tries.

A crisis that recurs a second time is a crisis that must not occur again.
