QUOTES
“There’s something about putting a short time frame on a job that takes off the psychological pressure.”
“Because here’s the magic of a sprint: Often once you break through that resistance and start working, you’ll get into a state of flow, and you won’t stop. You’ll keep going.”
“And best of all, you will have a feeling of accomplishment and you will have started to create momentum. And when that happens, you are going to begin to feel less overwhelmed and more excited to jump back in and keep making progress the next day.”
