Timothy Ferriss - From the Doubt category:

Timothy Ferriss - From the Importance category:

Timothy Ferriss - From the Procrastination category:
-The 4-Hour Workweek...
'Someday' is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do it 'eventually,' just do it and correct course along the way. (Timothy Ferriss)
Timothy Ferriss - From the Production category:
Focus on being productive instead of busy. (Timothy Ferriss)
