• "Before the fall, work was good and rest was good."
• "We can trust Him. We can work from a state of peace instead of anxiety."
• "The sanctification process should apply to every area of our lives, and I don't think our time management and our work-life balance should be an exception to that."
• "We ignore this reality that our time is finite, that our mental energy is finite, that our physical energy is finite - and we just try to do more than we can."
• "Being realistic about the amount that we can actually do on any given day or any given week is a really important place to start."
• "It's not about saying I can't work, but it is about intentionally - I'm choosing when I'm going to work, I'm choosing when I'm not. That way, you get out of this trap of feeling guilty for not working and feeling guilty for working."
• Clockwork by Mike Michalowicz
• "The things that I actually treasure are the things I skip when I get busy."
• Treasure (what do I value?), trash (what can I stop doing?), trim (what can I do less? could I do this half as often?), and transfer (what could someone else do?)
• "Find people who can help repetitively, and then invest in teaching them."
• "What is a teacher's core responsibility? In most cases, it's teaching great lessons. Am I freeing up space for that?"
• "A vacation is great, but it's not going to magically solve all of your problems."
