Be like a postage stamp–stick to one thing until you get there. - Gary Keller

My mom lived to be ninety-five. Every morning I would ask her, “Are you going to have a good day?” She would always answer, “I choose to have a good day. I don’t have enough days left in my life to have a bad one.” She was right, she didn’t. And neither do I!

So, if you want to get the most out of your day, do your most important work — your ONE Thing — early, before your willpower is drawn down. Since your self-control will be sapped throughout the day, use it when it’s at full strength on what matters most.

When you gamble with your time, you may be placing a bet you can’t cover.
