Hours

"The only thing even in this world are the number of hours in a day. The difference in winning or losing is what you do with those hours."
Woody Hayes

We are always complaining that there are never enough hours in the day. We never seem to have enough time to do all the things we want to do. The days go by so fast. Yet some people accomplish a great deal in a month where others have hardly got started. What is the difference here? They both had the same number of hours in a day.

The big difference is what those people chose to do with those hours. Some people are procrastinators. They don't do anything untill they are completely sure they know what to do, and they feel like doing it. So they wait... Some people haven't stopped to think about what they really want to accomplish in a month. They haven't set any goals. And since they don't know what they want to get done, they don't know what they need to do in order to get that. So they drift in circles, never really going anywhere.

People who accomplish a lot know exactly what they want to do and they have thought up a plan of how they intend to accomplish it. They don't procrastinate, but instead get started right away, even if they aren't completely sure of everything that needs to be done. They know that by taking action, they will learn what really needs to be done. People who get a lot done, also minimize or get rid of all their activities that are not related to their goal. They don't waste their time watching TV. They utilize their hours more efficiently and that is why they get more done.
