I’m one of those people who keeps way too many irons in the fire. I thrive on variety and sometimes I feel like its a weird mechanism that keeps me from getting bored… However – there is one phrase I love to repeat that I feel sets a tone of inspiration to save one from loosing steam on projects.

Do what you can, do it now and get better at it.

Most of this speaks for itself and can be applied to anything. Its kind of like the old joke about how one is to eat an elephant – one bite at a time. However you’ll likely get tired of eating elephant after a while.

I think the key here is to get out of thinking in a linear way. One thing comes after the next. What you want to do is to think exponentially. What you do now lays groundwork and a bed for the stuff that comes later. Everything builds upon itself.

Start somewhere and get something accomplished – no matter how small. Then step away, evaluate where you are and figure out how you can get better.
