To seriously improve time management, one must adopt many methods of today's Self-Improvement Association, i.e., openly confess "I am a time-waster." Recognizing this can lead to specific steps to improve the situation. — Harris
If you do only one thing at a time, you will have enough time to do anything each day; but if you do two things at once, you will never have enough time in a year. — Chesterfield
If you want your work to be done well, find a busy person—others don’t have time. — Calvin Coolidge
Write down the most important tasks you must do tomorrow and arrange them in order of importance. When you enter the office the next morning, start with the most important task and continue until it is completed. Recheck your priorities, then move on to the second most important task. If any task you start takes up the entire day, don’t worry. As long as the task is the most important, persist with it. If you cannot complete all the important tasks using this method, then you won’t be able to complete them with any other method either, and without the help of a priority system, you might not even know which task is the most important. — Charles Schwab

"Remember, time is money! If a person who earns 10 shillings a day lies on the sofa for half a day, they might think they’ve only spent 6 pence on entertainment. No! They’ve also lost the 5 shillings they could have earned. Money, by its nature, is not infertile. It can generate more money, and its offspring will be even more. If someone destroys 5 shillings, they destroy everything it could have produced. In other words, they destroy a mountain of pounds."
This is a famous quote by the renowned American thinker Benjamin Franklin. It succinctly and directly explains a principle: to succeed, one must understand the essence of time, clarify its value, and master time management.
