"We tend to overestimate what we can do in a short period, and underestimate what we can do over a long period, provided we work slowly and consistently. Anthony Trollope, the nineteenth-century writer who managed to be a prolific novelist while also revolutionizing the British postal system, observed, â€œA small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.â€ Over the long run, the unglamorous habit of frequency fosters both productivity and creativity."

-- Gretchen Rubin
