Keep two simple things clear and constant in your mind:
1. The work needs to be done now.
2. If you do the work now, the payoff comes much later down the road further than you can see.

Always urgent today.
Always patient for the payoff.

I refocus myself by asking and acting on two obvious questions:
1. What do I need to do TODAY?
2. How many YEARS of that daily work will it take for me to see valuable results? To reach my main objective?
