Take.

Procrastination is a lack of alignment.
No urgency, meaning, or priority in the goal you are trying to achieve makes distraction the only other option.
You don't need to stop procrastinating, you need to choose something better to focus on.
The moments that change your life are the moments that push you to the edge.
The moments where you find out what you’re made of and how hard you can truly work.
The secret to self-discipline:
- Become fed up with where you are
- Get clear on what you want
- Create a plan to get there
- Remove every single distraction
- Take the smallest step
- Fail until you are okay with failure
Discipline is the byproduct of clarity, not force.
