15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management Quotes

“Email is a great way for other people to put their priorities into your life; control your inbox.”
“Highly successful people take immediate action on almost every item they encounter.”
“If a task can be completed in less than five minutes, do it immediately.”
“If you are like most people, your list of the most valuable things includes your spouse, children, friends, health, money, and of course, time. Highly successful people have a similar list — but they rank time as the most important item of all.
Shouldn’t health be number one? You can be healthy, and then get sick, and then regain your health.
How about money? You can lose all your money, and then you can make it all back.
Friends? Friends are important, and yet, how many friends did you have back in college that you no longer keep in touch with? Or even people who were guests at your wedding, and that was the last day you ever saw them? Yes, friends are prized, yet we lose them and make new ones all the time.
Yes, your spouse means the world to you. And 50 percent of married people get a divorce, and many divorced people get a new husband or wife that is suddenly the love of their life.
But time… You can never lose time and get it back again. You can’t spend time and go earn more of it. You can’t buy it, rent it, or borrow it. Time.”
“If you aren’t busy working on your own goals, you’ll be working to achieve somebody else’s goals.”

“The athlete is willing to sacrifice family and leisure time to stay focused on training as it is the passion and drive to be athletically successful that justifies the compromise.”
“The key to discipline is striving for perfection but understanding perfect isn't attainable. To strive for it means you’re willing to learn and overcome challenges; therefore creating solutions. It's a day-by-day process and if you walk in the light and focus on each step, you can see the imprint your footstep makes.”
“The Miracle Morning is about focusing on 'becoming' more so that you can start doing less, to achieve more.”
“The simple act of scheduling tasks on your calendar – instead of writing them on a to-do list – will free your mind, reduce stress, and increase cognitive performance.”
“The Zeigarnik effect is a psychological term based on studied that show unfinished goals cause intrusive, uncontrolled thoughts.”
“Time is the most important asset. ”
“Time is unique because it’s the one true equalizer. Some people are born rich, others born poor. Some have Ivy League degrees, while others are high school dropouts. Some are genetically gifted athletes, others physically challenged. But we all have the same minutes in a day. Time is the lowest common denominator.”

“Don’t trade penny stocks. A penny stock is any stock that trades under $5. Unless you are an advanced trader, you should avoid all penny stocks.
I would extend this by encouraging you to also avoid all stocks priced under $10. Even if you have a small trading account ($5,000) or less, you are better off buying fewer shares of a higher-priced stock than a lot of shares of a penny stock.
That is because low-priced stocks are most often associated with lower quality companies. As a result, they are not usually allowed to trade on the NYSE or the Nasdaq. Instead, they trade on the OTCBB ("over the counter bulletin board") or Pink Sheets, both of which have much less stringent financial reporting requirements than the major exchanges do.
Many of these companies have never made a profit. They may be frauds or shell companies that are designed solely to enrich management and other insiders. They may also include former 'blue chips' that have fallen on hard times like Eastman Kodak or Lehman Brothers.
In addition, penny stocks are inherently more volatile than higher-priced stocks. Think of it this way: if a $100 stock moves $1, that is a 1% move. If a $5 stock moves $1, that is a 20% move. Many new traders underestimate the kind of emotional and financial damage that this kind of volatility can cause.
In my experience, penny stocks do not trend nearly as well as higher-priced stocks. They tend to be more mean-reverting. Mean reversion occurs when a stock moves up sharply from its average trading price, only to fall right back down again to its average trading price.
Many of them are eventually headed to zero, but they are still not good short candidates. Most brokers will not let you short them. And even if you do find a broker who will let you short a penny stock, how would you like to wake up to see your penny stock trading at $10 when you just shorted it at $2 a few days before?
I learned that lesson the hard way. It turned out that I was risking $8 to make $2, which is not a good way to make money over the long term.
To add injury to insult, a penny stock might appear to be liquid one day, and the next day, the liquidity dries up and you are confronted by a $2 bid/ask spread. Or the bid might completely disappear. Imagine owning”
“We always underestimate how hard it is to be our best self in the present moment.”
“Work from your calendar, not a to-do list.”
“Yes, you receive too much email, but you need to take responsibility for handling it.”
“You can never lose time and get it back again.”
“You need to start paying other people to do stuff for you even before you feel you are ready.”
