Quotes to ponder:
"Things take as long as they take. If we ignore the truth, we may very well run out of time before we’ve even started on the most important work."
"Once you know how long it takes you to do something, you can more easily find the room in your schedule to get it done."
"You won’t have to be this detailed forever. After two weeks to a month of concerted effort, you’ll develop a keen sense of how much time tasks require."
