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

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small, manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. — Mark Twain

Anything that causes you to overreact or underreact can control you, and often does. Responding inappropriately to your e-mail, your thoughts about what you need to do, your children, or your boss will lead to less effective results than you’d like. Most people give either more or less attention to things than they deserve, simply because they don’t operate with a mind like water.

Maximizing is not optimizing. Sustainable engagement wins, in the end.
