Do each day all that can be done that day

Do each day all that can be done that day.

You don’t need to overwork –

or to rush blindly into your work, trying to do the greatest possible number of things in the shortest possible amount of time.

Don’t try to do tomorrow’s – or next week’s – work today.

It’s not so much the number of the things you do but the quality, the efficiency of each separate action that counts. . . .

you need only to succeed in the small tasks of each day.

This makes a successful day.

With enough of these, you have a successful week, month, year – and lifetime.


-- Earl Nightingale
