There is usually an inverse proportion between how much something is on your mind and how much it´s getting done! Picture Quote #1

There is no reason ever to have the same thought twice, unless you like having that thought Picture Quote #1

You don’t actually do a project; you can only do action steps related to it Picture Quote #1

Most people feel best about their work the week before their vacation, but it’s not because of the vacation itself. What do you do the last week before you leave on a big trip? You clean up, close up, clarify, and renegotiate all your agreements with yourself and others. I just suggest that you do this weekly instead of yearly Picture Quote #1

If you don’t pay appropriate attention to what has your attention, it will take more of your attention than it deserves Picture Quote #1

Decide the outcome and the action step, put reminders of those somewhere your brain trusts youll see them at the right time, and listen to your brain breathe easier Picture Quote #1

Use your mind to think about things, rather than think of them. You want to be adding value as you think about projects and people, not simply reminding yourself they exist Picture Quote #1

If you don’t fall off the wagon regularly, you’re not playing a big enough game Picture Quote #1

Trust yourself to do what you really feel like doing, and what you feel like doing will change. Don’t, and it will plague you Picture Quote #1

At at any point in time, knowing what has to get done, and when, creates a terrain for maneuvering Picture Quote #1

Stress such as you experience in exercise is what creates builds focus, strength, and the capability for expanded expression; and the same is true for any kind of performance Picture Quote #1

If the only tool you have is a hammer, it’s hard to eat spaghetti Picture Quote #1

It is a tricky business to know when you should set goals and objectives in order to achieve a focus, and when you would be better off dealing with the acceptance and management of your current reality so you can later step into new directions and responsibilities with greater stability and clarity. Only you will know the answer to that, and only in the moment Picture Quote #1

If you’re at zero backlog, it’s a whole lot easier to change priorities Picture Quote #1

The hardest thing about being productive is not the work, but the split second it takes to decide to take control Picture Quote #1

It was helpful to be able to call a lawyer... it turns out, that not only did they help me, but they really helped the whole community Picture Quote #1

Every decision to act is an intuitive one. The challenge is to migrate from hoping it’s the right choice to trusting it’s the right choice Picture Quote #1

The real issue is how to make appropriate choices about what to do at any point in time. The real issue is how we manage actions Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to be fully creative without structure and constraint. Try to paint without a canvas. Creativity and freedom are two sides of the same coin. I like the best of both worlds. Want freedom? Get organized. Want to get organized? Get creative Picture Quote #1

Once a week, do a thorough review of all your projects in as much detail as you need to. If you do, your systems will work. If you don’t, no system will work Picture Quote #1
