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

As with anything that requires a change in behavior, the best thing you can do is show up every day with a clean slate. This means wiping away past guilt for all the days you’ve lost because of procrastination, and leaning into self-forgiveness.

Focus on one goal at a time. Make it a small goal. Avoid committing to a big goal that overwhelms you.

Conditions are subject to change. The best time to begin your life was yesterday. The second-best time is right now.

Not making a decision is the same as deciding to do something and failing at it.

“I am great. I am fearless. I am courageous.”
