The objective should be to reduce that time with every passing day. For instance when you start a new activity for the first time you may take more than 60 minutes to complete it due to various distractions and lack of focus. You should know that you can decrease this time. The next time you try you make it within 60 minutes and as you proceed it becomes a sort of a game, a challenge. Although this “action days” activity can be productive too.

’You can start, the very minute you decide to begin.’

First the decision, then the action. Your mind is a powerful force that controls every single thing that you do with your life. So take charge. Harness it. Train it. Feed it. For the pearls of wisdom are available to those who are willing to search. In all your affairs, always decide to decide. Indecision will kill any dream and destroy any desire. So think first. That way you have begun. Then act. That way you have continued. Your entire life can be transformed in a split second. Do this by turning your back on the past, projecting yourself into the future and by thinking good thoughts in the here and now.
