The Things to do are: the things that need doing, that you see need to be done, and that no one else seems to see need to be done. Then you will conceive your own way of doing that which needs to be done — that no one else has told you to do or how to do it. This will bring out the real you that often gets buried inside a character that has acquired a superficial array of behaviors induced or imposed by others on the individual.

If you do the things you need to do when you need to do them, then someday you can do the things you want do when you want to do them.

That is the secret of happiness and virtue — liking what you've got to do.

Take work as a game and enjoy it. Everything is a challenge. Just don’t go on doing it, dragging yourself because it has to be done.
So there are only two possibilities: either find work you like or become capable of liking the work, whatsoever it is. The second is the best alternative because it is very difficult to find work that you like.like. Sooner or later you will dislike it. In the beginning, maybe you like it.

Doing what needs to be done may not make you happy, but it will make you great.

When you do the things you need to do when you need to do them, the day will come when you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them.

Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the secondary consequences. The work, not the people. Your own action, not any possible object of your charity.

Getting things done, and feeling good about it, means being willing to recognize, acknowledge, and appropriately manage all the things that have your consciousness engaged. Mastering the art of stress-free productivity requires it.

It is not doing the thing we like to do, but liking the thing we have to do, that makes life blessed.

To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.

For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.

A good sign that you are doing the kind of work you should be doing is that you enjoy the tedious parts that other people find torturous.

I make sure I do what needs to be done.

Keys to getting things done: know what "done" means & what "doing" looks like.
