The feeling that we have endless time to complete our work has an insidious and debilitating effect on our minds.
Our attention and thoughts become diffused.
Our lack of intensity makes it hard for the brain to jolt into a higher gear.
The connections do not occur.
For this purpose you must always try to work with deadlines, whether real or manufactured.
Faced with the slenderest amount of time to reach the end, the mind rises to the level you require.
Ideas crowd upon one another.

LAW 9 WIN THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS, NEVER THROUGH ARGUMENT JUDGMENT Any momentary triumph you think you have gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate.
