Two mental skills that make all the difference

Here they are:

1)Getting started
2)Sticking with it

Also known as action-focus and persistence.
With these two virtues highly developed nothing can stop you. But how do you develop them?
Simple: Focus on one virtue every other month. Then, every day whenever you have a meal (this means 3 times) you remind yourself of working on that character trait. In the evening you have a little notepad or calendar and there you note on a scale of 1 to 10 how well you did today. 3 points for reminding yourself, the other seven for how well you did. Work on action-focus one month and on persistence the other month. Of course the two overlap to a great degree. The goal is to turn you into a person that can get things done.
Okay,
back to work.
