| QUOTATION: | ... to be scared is such a release from all the logy weight of procrastination, of dallying and pokiness! You burn into work. It is as though gravity were removed and you walked lightly to the moon like an angel. |
| ATTRIBUTION: | Brenda Ueland (1891–1985), U.S. magazine writer. Me, ch. 6 (1939).
On overcoming lethargy and a tendency to procrastinate when, having decided to divorce her husband, she was suddenly faced with the need to support herself and her baby daughter. |
