You gotta make it a priority to make your priorities a priority.

As one would expect, the Pope’s schedule is quite disciplined—he wakes up at four o’clock each morning and runs on the treadmill for an hour. I’m totally kidding. Nobody’s knees have time for that.

Schedule time for focused effort.

Spending time with God is the key to our strength and success in all areas of life. Be sure that you never try to work God into your schedule, but always work your schedule around Him.

Make sure you understand when best you are effective and then schedule your most important tasks within that time of the day.

Ortez sauntered over to the nearest wall intercom. 'Bridge, this is the captain -- what the hell's going on up there? I didn't schedule a combat drill for today.'

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time. A schedule is a mock-up of reason and order—willed, faked, and so brought into being; it is a peace and a haven set into the wreck of time; it is a lifeboat on which you find yourself, decades later, still living.

The best way to effectively use time is to schedule it.
