#Quote #mjbQuote #Life #Time
-
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.
