Years ago, I heard a famous talked about his rule of thumb, getting 2 hours of quality time to do creative work, the rest of day for idle - let you mind unloaded. You spend 20% to accomplish 80%, for the rest 20% takes 80% of your energy - forget about it, move on with inperfct.
Ha? What? : -( I don't know what they said.
I thought it's impossible to do just 2 hours a day. How can you do that? Now, I'm reading what another famous said similar stuff, below.

Seven life lessons I have learned in 70+ years (Note added Nov. 7, 2011. Thanks to blogger 鮑得海 who provided excellent Chinese translation for the first six lessons
1.Happiness is a positive derivative 【樂觀是向上的! 】What I mean is that if your life is constantly imporving, you cannot help but be happy.
2.The only investment idea you need if you are not a professional "Save, Buy, Diversify, and Hold"; The worst enemy of investment – your emotion and greed" 【作為普通人,隻需要知道一個投資理念:“儲蓄、購買、分散投資、長期持有”】 【投資過程中,最壞的東東是:“衝動和貪婪”】
3.The world is full of people as smart as you are. Thus if you want to stand out - write and speak well. For ideas you only need one Jesus, but it take billions of missionaries to spread the word
4.The world is full of people as smart as you are. However many are self-centered on things interesting to them. Thus if you want to stand out, be people-oriented. Put yourself in others' shoes. 【世界上聰明人很多!但大多數人隻關心自己感興趣的東東。如果需要勝出,最好能多站在別人的角度看問題。】 (換位思考原則)
5.Remember the 80-20 rule. Among other things if your life is 80% perfect, you need the other 20% to keep you in perspective. 【謹記80-20原則。如果您覺得自己的人生僅僅是80%完美,那麽,餘下的20%的不完美,將是您成功的必須!】 (得失原則)
6.No one promised you a rose garden. The world does not owe you a living 【世界並不虧欠您任何東東!】 (謙卑原則)
7. There is a difference being a nice guy and being a doormat. The former is based on your own initiative while the latter is something others do to you. (note to Chinese readers: "Being someone's doormat" means others constantly wipe their dirt on you. You are always being humiliated)
Unfortunately, I don't always remember to practice these lessons 100 per cent of the time.
