1. FOCUS on the task: Incomplete projects happen 70% from distractions, 20% from mental/physical fatigue, and 10% from actual difficulty. Focus ON the challenge.

2. FINISH the task: Start the next task only after you’ve transitioned out of the prior so time doesn’t rush into the next project. Focus THROUGH the finish.

3. START EARLY so you don’t violate #1 or #2 when life inevitably throws surprises which may cause you to be distracted and rushed. If you’re early, you’re never late, so you can focus and finish.
