Do less. Stop dividing your attention.
Do it right now. Once you have identified the essential, go fast. Maintain a bias toward action.
Do it the right way. Acting quickly doesn’t mean acting carelessly. Get to work right away, but keep working on it until it’s right.

#Quote #mjbQuote #Intention #mjbIntention #Life
“Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized.
Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will never die, but long after we are gone will be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistency.
Remember that our sons and grandsons are going to do things that would stagger us.”
— Daniel Burnham
