I have been familiar with the phrase used above coming from Confucius. In fact, it has been with me since school years. Yet, I have forgotten the phrase and also the act implied in those words. This post is actually a good reminder for me. Not that I tend to procrastinate these days, rather I tend to think more about plans. Unfortunately, some of them remained as abstract ideas as I spend less time on taking them in action. Indeed, it is useful to think, but accomplishing pending tasks gives you tangible results that you need.

Every work day is a step. Sometimes it’s smaller, sometimes it’s bigger. But just keep moving and you will get there – things do add up in a long term.

I just tell myself every morning “what can I accomplish today till 5pm?”. Not this week, not this month (though sure I have the big picture), but today.

Even the task management software that we use is called 5pm (http://www.5pmweb.com) and their slogan is “Get more done by 5pm”. May be that’s where I got the idea after all…
