As someone who had to create the opportunity to learn programming once upon a time, I can verify the truth of the quoted remark. It's a crucially important perspective. It's meant figuratively, of course. He's not suggesting you modify the space/time continuum by sheer force of will. Yeah, there are 24 hours in a day. But what's really meant here is that you can reconfigure the management of your time so as to create availability for your new project. It's the idea that you can create a period of time freed from other obligations. Unless you're operating at 100% efficiency, there's always a bit of fat you can trim in exchange for something else. If you're uncompromising in your commitment, you'll find the way to pinch 5 minutes here, 20 minutes there, until you've got a chunk of time to work with and get things done. And until you do that, you'll continue to not have time.
