About this quote
Endurance is easier to manage when a long challenge is divided into short, finishable races.
When to use it
- During a difficult week, plan the semester in weekly milestones and focus only on the current one.
- Use the same principle on one difficult subject: plan the semester in weekly milestones and focus only on the current one, then note what changed.
- Try it with a classmate or study group: plan the semester in weekly milestones and focus only on the current one, and compare the result at the end of the week.
