Quote of the Day - George Leonard on doing one thing at a time

Transcript for accessibility purposes:
“You can't do everything, but you can do one thing, and then another and another. In terms of energy, it's better to make a wrong choice than none at all. You might begin by listing your priorities—for the day, for the week, for the month, for a lifetime. Start modestly. List everything you want to do today or tomorrow. Set priorities by dividing the items into A, B, and C categories. At the least, accomplish the A items. Try the same thing with long-term goals. Priorities do shift, and you can change them at any time, but simply getting them down in black and white adds clarity to your life, and clarity creates energy.”

George Leonard

I don't think there is much to add here. This is a true lesson in managing priorities and energy. I think it goes in line with the other quotes I shared throughout this week.

The main idea here is to keep moving. Create momentum, get things done. Make decisions and make mistakes if that's what it takes because not making a decision is a decision itself and in terms of building momentum, it's rarely the best thing you can do. Sometimes, you need to take a step back before you can take two steps forward.
