“The average human lifespan is absurdly, terrifyingly, insultingly short. You'll get to do perhaps one or two things really well, if you're lucky.”

“The real problem isn't our busyness but our inner resistance to the finitude of our time.”

“You have to accept that there will always be too much to do.”

“The future will never provide the reassurance you seek from it.”

“Procrastination is nothing but the desire to be in the future, where you haven't yet had to make the choices you know you need to make.”
