The Power of Time: How One Student Took Control of Her Day
As the sun began to rise over the university campus, Sarah sat up in her bed, her phone buzzing with notifications. It was 7:00 a.m., and the day ahead was already filled with assignments, exams, and a part-time job that she had to squeeze in between her studies. She knew, deep down, that this chaotic schedule was starting to weigh on her. In the midst of the pressure, one quote kept coming back to her mind: “Either you run the day or the day runs you.” The words of Jim Rohn echoed in her mind as she stared at her phone.
Sarah had always been an organized person, but the increasing demands of university life had started to take a toll. Procrastination, stress, and the endless juggling of tasks had left her feeling overwhelmed. She realized that she needed a shift in her mindset. The day wasn’t going to slow down for her, and if she didn’t take charge, she’d be swept away by the tidal wave of responsibilities.
That morning, Sarah decided to put Rohn’s quote into action. She made a list of everything she needed to accomplish that day, but this time, she focused on prioritizing the most important tasks. Instead of allowing herself to be pulled in a hundred different directions, she created a schedule. The first task on the list was to tackle the paper that was due in two days. She knew she had been putting it off, but today was the day to start.
By 8:00 a.m., Sarah was sitting at her desk, coffee in hand, her laptop open, and her study materials organized. She refused to let the day slip away from her. She had always struggled with distractions, especially social media, but today was different. She turned off her notifications and set a timer for one hour, focusing solely on her paper.
As she worked through her ideas, a sense of calm washed over her. She was no longer reacting to the day; instead, she was taking proactive steps toward her goals. When the timer went off, Sarah took a break, but this time, she didn’t waste her time scrolling through endless feeds. She went for a walk around the campus, breathing in the fresh air, recharging her mind for the next task.
By noon, Sarah had made significant progress on her paper. She reviewed her schedule again and realized that she had enough time to tackle another big task: studying for her midterm exam. Rather than waiting until the last minute, she set a goal for the next three hours, dedicating that time exclusively to studying. She broke down the material into manageable chunks, using her method of active recall and spaced repetition. She found that by running the day, she could work with more focus and intention, making each moment productive.
As the day progressed, Sarah continued to apply Rohn’s philosophy. After studying, she made time for her part-time job, but she had already set clear boundaries. She made sure to finish her shift on time so that she could unwind and enjoy some personal time in the evening. Instead of mindlessly watching TV or procrastinating on small tasks, Sarah used the evening to connect with friends and unwind, but she also made time to plan for the next day.
When Sarah finally settled into bed that night, she reflected on the progress she had made. The day hadn’t been easy, but it had been productive. She had taken control, and the day had followed her lead. For the first time in a long while, Sarah felt a sense of accomplishment and balance. The constant rush had stopped, and she was running the day, not the other way around.
From that day forward, Sarah kept Rohn’s quote close to her heart. She understood that time would always be limited, but how she spent it was up to her. Each morning, she made a conscious decision to run the day—setting goals, prioritizing tasks, and embracing the power of discipline. In doing so, she not only managed her workload but also found space for personal growth and enjoyment. She realized that when you run the day, you run your life.
