IVY LEE

Write down the most important things you have to do tomorrow.

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.

In an imperfect world perfection is not instantly available. Railroad safety, for instance, cannot be secured by mechanical devices alone. It is primarily a resultant of care and discipline.
