"Stop thinking so much and just do it. My biggest struggles are the times I am thinking about what is due, when it is due, and how I will get it done. Just sit and do one thing at a time. Too much time is wasted on thinking. It is really that simple. If we can follow this simple rule, the sky is the limit."
