Prioritize what must be accomplished first today—begin early on
difficult and unpleasant
tasks.

things. Delaying progress increases the chance

stress.

here.

energy.

productivity and quality.

beyond your
limit—this can lead to burnout.

stagnation.

engines roaring. Look

employees/team members.
