They say it’s important to do the hardest task first.
And along the way to trying to adopt that habit myself,
I have learned that the hardest task is not the hardest task itself,
But is making myself do the hardest task.
It is the mastering of myself,
To make myself do what ought to be done—
That is the hardest part.
See also After the Hardest Task First, which I wrote a couple of hours after this one.
