Clarity and Purpose=Project Completion

Here are some powerful ideas that can help us work and live with more vitality, clarity, and purpose:

1. On the door frame outside his workroom, [writer William Styron] tacked a piece of cardboard with a quotation from Flaubert written on it:

“Be regular and orderly in your life, like a good bourgeois, so that you may be violent and original in your work.”

2. “A task left undone remains undone in two places - at the actual location of the task, and inside your head. Incomplete tasks in your head consume the energy of your attention as they gnaw at your conscience. They siphon off a little more of your personal power every time you delay. No need to be a perfectionist, that’s debilitating in an imperfect world, but it’s good to be a ‘completionist’. If you start it, finish it - or forget it.”
