This brevity of life makes rigorous prioritization central to all time management and, at the same time, makes every choice painfully significant. Unfortunately, in our desperation, we tend to squeeze so much into our day until we are finally sufficiently overloaded to say no with a clear conscience.

It runs out irretrievably. Already the ancient Romans gave the advice: Carpe diem! In the age of knowledge work with a thousand possibilities and just as many distractions, however, this is easier said than done. In about twenty years of knowledge work, I have tried out a few things and learned a lot about how to organize myself well.

It would make more sense for everyone to accept weaknesses, make them irrelevant through appropriate organization and thus deliberately make strengths productive.
