Quotes to ponder:

"We think we’re going to be able to do about 2-5 times what we can actually do."

"Know your deeper reason for wanting to get this done, and remember that this reason is worth facing the resistance."

"If you have some time left over, bonus! Use that time not on distractions but on the tasks you cut out."
