Quotes to ponder:

"All tasks are created equal. A task is a task and it needs to be done."

"When you start selecting which tasks are 'important' and which ones are 'not important', you are on a slippery slope to chaos and missed deadlines."

"Completing tasks consistently every day creates momentum. Momentum creates motivation."
