The essence of the best thinking in the area of time management (practice planning) can be captured in a single phrase: Organize and execute around priorities

Once you have a clear picture of your priorities - that is values, goals, and high leverage activities - organize around them.

If we want to make a change in our lives, we should first focus on our personal attitudes and behaviors.

One of the best ways to educate our hearts is to look at our interaction with other people, because our relationships with others are fundamentally a reflection of our relationship with ourselves.

Principle-centered people are constantly educated by their experiences.

You can't have the fruits without the roots.

"If I make deposits into an Emotional Bank Account with you through courtesy, kindness, honesty, and keeping my commitments to you, I build up a reserve. Your trust toward me becomes higher, and I can call upon that trust many times if I need to. I can even make mistakes and that trust level, that emotional reserve, will compensate for it. My communication may not be clear, but you'll get my meaning anyway. You won't make me "an offender for a word." When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective."
