85. “I’m yearning for more control of my day.”
- workshop attendee

86. Deliberate practice is necessary to become better at anything.
Likewise, learning how to best manage your time is itself a skill to master.
And setting an intention — what you want to have happen — is as
relevant to your average workday as it is to your entire life.
