Go one better

Do what you intend to do, then go one better. Achieve the goal you’ve set for yourself, then add to it.

Once you are speeding along with the momentum of achievement, don’t let that momentum go to waste. Make more good use of it.

If you’ve already contacted a dozen people, it’s not much more effort to contact one or two more. When you’ve written a thousand words, continue on that established trajectory and write a hundred more.

Usually, the most difficult parts of any task are getting started and getting into the flow. Once you’re there, it makes a lot of sense to keep on going a little longer.

After all, you’ve given yourself the chance to get ahead of the game. Going a little further once you’re ahead is much better than working to catch up after you’ve fallen behind.

When you’ve done what had to be done, don’t stop just yet. Make the most of the opportunity you’ve earned for yourself.
