“It is not that we have too little time to do all the things we need to do, it is that we feel the need to do too many things in the time we have.” — Gary Keller
The nature of human motivation is about pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain. This is called Sigmund Freud’s Pleasure Principle. The pleasure principle is the driving force of seeking immediate gratification of all needs, wants, and urges. This is why time management is pain management—when we are lonely, we check Facebook; when we’re uncertain, we search on Google.
“I have no time / I need more time” = You don’t prioritize your time!
