Time & Action

"'Human beings only use 10 percent of their brain' is a misquote.  It should read that most people only use their brain "10 percent efficiently.  Thus, you have within you abilities you've never used.  

For example, you probably don't use your time efficiently... Fifteen-minute 'doing nothings' four times add up to a full hour of your life, an hour you could spend making yourself mentally sharper and physically stronger.  

Wasted hours add up to wasted days, wasted days... a wasted life.'"  (Dr. HAHA Lung, Mind Control, The Ancient Art of Psychological Warfare, page 13, Chapter 1, The Three Knows)

Robert Greene says the same thing, but in reverse:  90% of your actions come from boredom:

In the interview, Greene points out that 50 is an extremely disciplined person who is either working or working out all of the time.

Applying this practically seems exceedingly simple.  All you have to do is... do.

Structure your goals hierarchically.  You need to hold your ultimate strategic goal - in business and in your personal life - in mind, and create subsidiary goals that lead to that ultimate strategic goal.  The ultimate strategic goal needs to be something years out into the future, and the smaller goals - the steps that lead to it - take less time, months, weeks, days.  The goals need to be broken down to the point where every literally every second is being efficiently used to accomplish what you want to do.
