Do the next thing
Activity, in and of itself, is no guarantee of progress – you must move forward by degrees.
- The next thing is always the necessary thing…and often the harder thing to do.
- Divide a difficult task into smaller segments and proceed in a step-by-step advance.
- Designate periods of time to spend on different tasks and advance each tasks by intervals of time.
- Do even the smallest of things that holds even the slightest hope of advance.
