The quickest way to fail is to do nothing or to convince yourself that have done everything.

I want to write about time management and getting things done. Two skills I have yet to master, but I really want to. I have a whiteboard full of goals for this year and the upcoming ones. Some of them are every doable, achievable with a bit of effort and luck — luck is always needed. And some are only possible with a lot of effort and a crap ton of luck.
