It is said that the Dominicans asked the Pope if they could work while they pray. The Pope said no!
Then the Jesuits asked the Pope if they could pray while they work. The Pope said yes!
Pray when you pray!
Pray when you work!
Pray constantly, i.e. make a commitment and stick to it (the commitment might have to be adjusted as your circumstances significantly change), and pray always.
Sine intermissione orate! 1 Timothy 5:17
Oportet semper orare! Luke 18:1
