So during those first moments of the day, which are yours and yours alone, you can circumvent these boundaries and concentrate fully on spiritual matters. And this gives you the opportunity to plan the time management of the entire day.

The quote emphasizes the spiritual and practical power of the day’s beginning. By treating the first moments after waking as a protected, private interval, one can avoid the pressures and “boundaries” imposed by work, social obligations, and distractions. In that quiet space, attention can be directed toward prayer, study, or other spiritual disciplines that orient the self toward higher purposes. From that orientation flows a secondary benefit: clearer priorities and better stewardship of time for the rest of the day. The underlying idea is that inner alignment precedes effective action—spiritual focus is not an escape from daily responsibilities but a foundation for managing them wisely.
