Move steadily ahead

If you hurry too much you burn out. When you linger too often you fall behind.

Instead, seek to move steadily forward. Make the effort, make it sustainable, and continue.

When you’ve done enough for the day, stop and rest. After some time off has revived and refreshed you, promptly get started again.

It’s tempting to think you can get everything done without stopping, and then quit for a long while. But that rarely produces good results in the long term.

You’re more likely to build and maintain momentum with a steady pace. The ideal amount of effort is the amount you can continue to put forth day after day, month after month.

Move steadily ahead, not too fast, not too slow. With that approach you’re sure to go as far as you wish to go.
