They seem to get so much more done – but while it may seem like magic, it’s just great use of the time they do have.

And so today I wanted to look at a few brilliant (and fascinating!) time quotes and statistics all related to time and productivity – in order to think a bit about what can be done to make better use of it (whatever that means for you).
Whatever you want in life, you can create the time to achieve it, if you want to – and these time quotes & stats are ones that I hope will put time in some perspective for you – hope you like them!
