11 inspirational time management quotes

It's a busy world these days. As a small business owner, it perhaps goes without saying that I'm switched on to work even when I'm at home. But juggling work with all the other things we have to think about - childcare, eldercare and the domestic problems that go hand-in-hand with everyday life - isn't easy. Even when my business is running smoothly, I feel like I'm failing in other areas of my life and vice versa.

It's time like these that I find inspirational quotes can help give me the energy - and insight - to start better dealing with all the things I need to do, both in work and outside.
