“If you want to hire great people and have them stay working for you, you have to...”
– Steve Jobs (via The Small Wave)
"I don't have time."
“I don’t have time to do this” means “I’m not prioritizing this.” You have time - you just use it on other things.
If other people manage to do something and you don’t, that doesn’t mean they have more time; it just means they use their time differently.
That’s neither positive nor negative; it just is.
