My notes start with the following:
Be aware that everything that you own will place some time demand on you.
When something or someone controls our lives, we are neither happy nor productive and we don’t experience inner peace.
Natural laws are fundamental patterns of nature and life that human experience and testing have shown to be valid.
You control your life by controlling your time.
Some things you can not control, you must adapt.
You can influence people, but you can not control them. Consider what other people do as out of your control.
When the need is big enough, we control events that we normally believe we can’t control.
We talk ourselves into believing we cannot control events that we really can control.
We give up when our options are by no means exhausted.
An increase in self-esteem results in more control over events and more productivity.
More control over events results in an increase in self-esteem and more productivitiy
