Jim Rohn Quotes

Don't start your day until you have it finished on paper first.

When I come into the office, the first thing I do is I plan out what I want to accomplish that day. I write it down in my notebook and make sure I accomplish it before I leave that day.

You're actually making the rest of your day productive by spending 30 minutes reviewing your to-do's, prioritizing them, and ruthlessly removing things that shouldn't be there.

No, my entire life is planned. It's called time management.

Each night before I go to bed, I take out a small card and write a list of the things I need to do the next day in order of their priority.

Compile your to-do list for tomorrow no later than this evening.

Don't start the day until you have it finished. Don't start the week until you have it finished. Don't start the month until you have it finished. Plan your day.

Write down the most important things you have to do tomorrow.

With my responsibilities comes having to manage my time more efficiently.

The night before, go over your schedule and see what you're going to do and what the purpose of what you're doing is. I advocate having a two-column schedule. On the left, put down all your appointments and phone calls. On the right, put down what the purpose is.

I keep lists of names of people that I have met, a list of things to do day by day as well as a log of how my time is consumed throughout the day. It's a very important part of my personal discipline.

I think time management as a label encourages people to view each 24-hour period as a slot in which they should pack as much as possible.

Time management is really key for me.

Schedule your time. People always ask, 'How do you do it all?' I'm like a walking calendar. I literally make my snacks on a Sunday if I'm traveling on a Tuesday, and I'll pack them before I leave.

I'm very organized. I have my day-to-day schedule, every 15 minutes, written out.

Every day is sort of a jigsaw puzzle. You have to make sure that you're putting the most important things first.

Probably the biggest problem I had was I didn't understand the importance of scheduling.

Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.

Being successful doesn't make you manage your time well. Managing your time well makes you successful!

Let each hour of the day have its allotted duty, and cultivate that power of concentration which grows with its exercise.

If you plan to face tomorrow, do it soon.

I have always lived my life by making lists: lists of people to call, lists of ideas, lists of companies to set up, lists of people who can make things happen. Each day I work through these lists, and that sequence of calls propels me forward.

I usually make to-do lists with timelines, and pen and paper does the trick for me.
