Slowly and consistently

You cannot do everything all at once. Some things you can only do slowly and consistently; they require a large investment of time and diligent focus.

The challenge is then choosing what you’ll do with the time you’ve got. The irony is that you can’t see the future. Of the options you have, you can’t look out ahead and see which one will be successful or make you happiest.

This is the anxiety that causes a lot of people to be fast and sporadic. They burn out and move on to something different.

Chip a little bit off the block everyday. Don’t strain yourself to pick up a big boulder all at once and break it open with one heave. You’ll only end up breaking yourself.
