Do the Hard Things First: How to Win Over Procrastination and Master the Habit of Doing Difficult Work (Do the Hard Things First Series Book 1)

by Scott Allan

Fear lies at the center of procrastination: the fear of success, responsibility, the unknown, and decision making.

By avoiding the difficult work, you choose to do something else less important, less engaging, and chances are, less challenging.

Later is the enemy of creativity and transformation.

the unknown is the other side of this fear.

The best time to begin your life was yesterday. The second-best time is right now.

The future will not be better than today unless you make changes today. Your future reflects what you do right now. Your behavior at the moment is who you are becoming in the future.

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result.”

You are greatness. You are courageous. You are fearless. You lack for nothing and hold the keys to your eternal universe.

“Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare.”

“What matters is this: being fearless of failure arms you to break the rules. In doing so, you may change the culture and just possibly, for a moment, change life itself.” — Malcolm Mclaren
