Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

From The Imagination Game:
"Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of that do the things no one can imagine."
Wow that's a mouthful. ::)

In the end everything will be OK. If it's not OK then it's not the end.

The Frierdiker's Melamed was a Chossid known as the Rashbatz. He one time caught him looking out the window when he should have been learning and told him "It's better to be standing outside looking in than sitting inside looking out".

Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

This one is great.
On the other hand, one of my favorite R' Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev stories- when he saw a coach driver mumbling shacharis while readying his horses for the day's work, he saw it as "even while he's working he's davening to Hashem..."

Eta: now when I think of it, it might be the same hand...
