Yet no matter how well you learn to go with the flow, always respect the time demands of your clients or customers. You may not have to watch the clock, but you must observe the calendar. Expect every project to take longer than anticipated, and if you have deadlines, plan backward. Start with the delivery date and plan backwards, allowing extra time at each step for unexpected delays and rest periods. Filter out the things you don't need, and organize the rest.

Ask any elderly person or someone with a degenerative disease. But it's the quality of the time you spend at work or at play that really makes you rich. While Making a Living. 1999 by Jeff Berner.
