For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned. -Benjamin Franklin Click To Tweet“What is the most important thing that you should do right now? It’s easy to figure out the answer. The most important thing is usually the item you least want to do. So jump on it. Get it out of the way. Then go on to the next thing you don’t want to do and get rid of that item by completing it. You’ll be amazed at how it frees your spirit not to have them hanging over you.” -Tom Hopkins
