There will always be a to-do-list no matter how much you do. "You can't out work the work."Be ruthless about how you spend your time. Instead of mindlessly moving from one task to the next, focus on activities that help you grow. You can't get spent time back.Take the time to care for you. Regular exercise helps with brain fatigue, as well as creates a healthier lifestyle. 30 minutes a day can and will change your life.Ask for help. When you are exhausted it is ok to ask for help.

To be who you want to be and where you want to be in life requires that you take action. You must be willing to take the first step towards what you want.
