Only do the thing we are best at doing and enjoy most.

It is not shortage of time that should worry us, but the tendency for the majority of time to be spent in low-quality ways.

Our current use of time is not rational. There is therefore no point in seeking marginal improvements in how we spend our time. We need to go back to the drawing board and overturn all our assumptions about time.

There is no shortage of time. In fact, we are positively awash with it. We only make good use of 20 per cent of our time.... The 80/20 principle says that if we doubled our time on the top 20% of activities, we could work a two-day week and achieve 60 per cent more than now.

What could you achieve that would make you proud, that no one else could do with the same ease?

Only do the thing we are best at doing and enjoy most.

If we did realize the difference between the vital few and the trivial many in all aspects of our lives, and if we did something about it, we could multiply anything that we valued.
