Put the uncommon effort into the common task... make it large by doing it in a great way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Be larger than your task.
Do a little bit more than average and from that point on our progress multiplies itself out of all proportion to the effort put in.
If doing something with second-rate effort satisfies you, find something else to do - where only your best effort will satisfy you personally.
I always need huge amounts of time to do anything.
If you procrastinate when faced with a big difficult problem... break the problem into parts, and handle one part at a time.
As long as you give your best effort, I feel like that's all you can do.
I think everybody's got different methods of working which suit the particular individual. Mine is to sort of play the part, and give 100%, to concentrate and focus on it while I'm actually working, but then leave it behind until the next day.
I discovered that the best thing for me was to be very busy all the time. I can get a lot done, and I can do those tasks well.
If I put forth a legitimate effort, then I feel like, if that doesn't work out, that's all I can do.
You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile.
