It's easier to change directions if you are in motion.

The real issue is how to make appropriate choices about what to do at any point in time. The real issue is how we manage actions.

Isn't it interesting that people feel best about themselves right before they go on vacation? They've cleared up all of their to-do piles, closed up transactions, renewed old promises with themselves. My most basic suggestion is that people should do that more than just once a year.

Why do people complain that there's no time to get their work done? Because there is more work to do than the work they think they have to do.

You can do anything, but you can't do everything

In Ireland we have a very old saying, When you can see the mountains it's going to rain and when you can't see the mountains it's raining.

If you’re at zero backlog, it’s a whole lot easier to change priorities.
