Philosopher William James once said there is “nothing is as fatiguing as the continued hanging on of an uncompleted task.” It’s quite simple—doing the same things in the same way yields the same results.

Why? Because it’s often easier; change takes effort and not everyone wants to change. In fact, many people are so frightened of change that they’ll often settle in life rather than face their fears. In order to conquer your time and organization management problems, improve your practice or experience personal and professional growth, you must do things differently.
