‘It’s not enough to be busy.


The question is:


‘What are you busy about?’


Henry Thoreau

‘Time is the scarcest resource


and unless it is managed


nothing else can be managed.’


Peter Drucker


‘If I were asked what one thing an executive could do that


would really, and quickly, make him more effective, make


him achieve more and make him enjoy what he’s doing,


I’d say: ‘Make sure you know where your time goes.


Don’t depend on memory, it’s treacherous.’


Peter Drucker
