“If you don’t write when you don’t have time for it, you won’t write when you do have time for it.”

“Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report written on birds that he’d had three months to write, which was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books about birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him put his arm around my brother’s shoulder, and said, “Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.”

“Time is a scarce resource, to effectively maximize on it is by aknowledging that not everything important, is an immediate priority.”

“We are not using time, time is using us. So let’s sagely enjoy it before it completely consumes us.”

“You basically get paid according to the amount of time you invest.”

“Time keeps moving forward, no matter what you’re feeling.”
