The secret to being productive is to work on the right thing—even if it's at a slow pace. - James Clear

Failure is most useful when you give your best effort.

If you fail with a lackluster effort, you haven't learned much. Perhaps you could have succeeded with a proper focus.

But if your best effort fails, you have learned something valuable: this way doesn't work.

The difference between motion and action.

Motion:

-talk to a personal trainer<br/>-research your book idea<br/>-explore different types of meditation

Action:

-do 10 squats<br/>-write 1 sentence<br/>-meditate for 1 minute

Motion feels like progress. Action is progress.

Lessons are unlikely to stick unless they are repeated.

Behaviors are unlikely to stick unless they are repeated.

Love is unlikely to stick unless it is repeated.

The practice solidifies.
