Today’s Task in Hand

Lay hold of to-day’s task, and you will not need to depend so much upon to-morrow’s. While we are postponing, life speeds by.

Charts speak in long cycles, which can make it tempting to wait for a better moment. Some moments are better, but most good work happens on ordinary days. You can take one piece of today’s task now.

Choose the task you have put off longest. Set a timer for ten minutes and work only on that. Stop when it rings, or keep going.
