The principles of patience
In a world geared for hurry, the capacity to resist the urge to hurry—to allow things to take the time they take—is a way to gain purchase on the world, to do the work that counts, and to derive satisfaction from the doing itself, instead of deferring all your fulfillment to the future.
from Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman
- “Mastery requires both impatience and patience.
The impatience to have a bias toward action, to not waste time, and to work with a sense of urgency each day.
The patience to delay gratification, to wait for your actions to accumulate, and to trust the process.”from 3 Ideas, 2 Quotes, 1 Question (August 15, 2019) | James Clear by James Clear
