Be intent
on the perfection of the present day.

Write down
the most important things you have to do tomorrow. Now,
number them in the order of their true importance. The
first thing tomorrow morning, start working on an item
Number 1, and stay with it until completed. Then take
item Number 2 the same way. Then Number 3, and so on.
Don't worry if you don't complete everything on the
schedule. At least you will have completed the most
important projects before getting to the less important
ones.

We all run
on two clocks. One is the outside clock, which ticks
away our decades and brings us ceaselessly to the dry
season. The other is the inside clock, where you are
your own timekeeper and determine your own chronology,
your own internal weather and your own rate of living.
Sometimes the inner clock runs itself out long before
the outer one, and you see a dead man going through the
motions of living.

Don't
watch the clock; do what it does. Keep going.
