At at any point in time, knowing what has to get done, and when, creates a terrain for maneuvering. - David Allen

Top need for top professionals: psychic space. Fewer distractions & more contexts for thinking. Not more time.

But sometimes I have to get out of my comfort zone to stay motivated to do excellent work over the long term.

Choose one project that is new or stuck or that could simply use some improvement. Think of your purpose. Think of what a successful outcome would look like: where would you be physically, financially, in terms of reputation, or whatever? Brainstorm potential steps. Organize your ideas. Decide on the next actions. Are you any clearer about where you want to go and how to get there?
