Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.” — Will Rogers - Gary W. Keller

Multitasking is merely the opportunity to screw up more than one thing at a time.

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.

Dweck’s work with children revealed two mindsets in action — a “growth” mindset that generally thinks big and seeks growth and a “fixed” mindset that places artificial limits and avoids failure. Growth-minded students, as she calls them, employ better learning strategies, experience less helplessness, exhibit more positive effort, and achieve more in the classroom than their fixed-minded peers. They are less likely to place limits on their lives and more likely to reach for their potential. Dweck points out that mindsets can and do change. Like any other habit, you set your mind to it until the right mindset becomes routine.
