Important things wait politely, then quietly disappear.</p> <p>On Day Six of his seven, Robbins puts time under the same lens as everything else: most of us let the loud, urgent thing set the schedule, and starve the important thing that actually moves our life.

Most people find a wall of urgent-not-important — other people's small fires — and almost no protected time for the work that compounds.</p>
