The ability to concentrate singlemindedly on your most important task, to do it well and to finish it completely, is the key to great success, achievement, respect, status, and happiness in life.

The only way to overcome your fears is to “do the thing you fear,” as Emerson wrote, “and the death of fear is certain.”

“Anytime you stop striving to get better, you’re bound to get worse.”

Rule: It is the quality of time at work that counts and the quantity of time at home that matters.

The greater the potential positive impact that an action or behavior of yours can have on your life, once you define it clearly, the more motivated you will be to overcome procrastination and get it done quickly.

Remember, whatever you choose to do over and over eventually becomes a habit that is hard to break. If you choose to start your day working on low-value tasks, you will soon develop the habit of always starting and working on low-value tasks. This is not the kind of habit you want to develop or keep.
