If you choose to start your day working on low-value tasks, you will soon develop the habit of always starting and working on low-value tasks. This is not the kind of habit you want to develop or keep. The hardest part of any important task is getting started on it in the first place.

At a certain point, you can reach “the wall” and simply be unable to continue, like a battery that is run down.”

The development of self-discipline is the high road that makes everything possible for you.”
