Work ahead

Nothing of value is created by waiting until the last minute to put forth the necessary effort. Go ahead and get it done.

The sooner you take a difficult action, the less time you’ll spend burdened by the necessity of it. At your earliest opportunity, get it done.

Your work is better when it is calm, intentional and relaxed. Rather than being rushed and filled with anxiety, do the work now.

You won’t make anything easier by putting it off until later. Do your future self a favor, and do the work right away.

If you seek to get ahead, there’s a straightforward and accessible way. Work ahead.

Minimize the time you must agonize over it, and maximize the amount of time you spend knowing it’s finished. When there’s anything to be done, go ahead and make it happen.

— Ralph Marston
