fighting through resistance
If you work a to-do list in the most natural way, you complete the items for which you have little or no resistance first, then the items that present moderate resistance. Before long all that is left is a list full of resistance.
least but not least
Something that takes only a short time can be the most important thing you do all day.
untangled
Distractions take up your time, so it is a sensible investment to spend a comparable amount of time removing distractions.
maze
Stick with the difficult problem that comes up; or set it aside and move on to something easier. There is no wrong way to move through a set of challenges.
opening
There is a way to do each thing you are imagining, but you might not be able to see it until you get the plans, doubts, worries, theories, and compromises out of the way.
undriven
A state in which you are not bothered by anything is not a state in which you are qualified to drive a car.
orthodoxy
A different technique or strategy could work twice as well. This is why it is important to know the origin of the techniques you rely on.
committed
Sometimes finishing a project is less work than cleaning up the materials you were planning to use.
go do
Success depends on subtleties. To smile, take a deep breath, and repeat one-syllable words to yourself can help, but it is not enough.
conscious change
If you want the work you are doing to change you in a lasting way, you have to get out of that trance.
pure and simple
Raising your standards doesn’t necessarily mean you will be working harder. Often, higher standards make your life simpler.
unseen
Visibility usually makes a problem easier to solve, but not always. There are also problems that you can solve only when you are not looking at them.
