Jim Kwik
“Zeigarnik effect—that uncompleted tasks created a level of tension that keeps that task at the front of our minds until it is completed.”
Jim Kwik, Limitless: Upgrade Your Brain, Learn Anything Faster, and Unlock Your Exceptional Life

Marc Brackett
“Strong, negative emotions (fear, anger, anxiety, hopelessness) tend to narrow our minds—it’s as though our peripheral vision has been cut off because we’re so focused on the peril that’s front and center.”
Marc Brackett, Permission to Feel: The Power of Emotional Intelligence to Achieve Well-Being and Success

Gene Kim
“Remember, unplanned work kills your ability to do planned work, so you must always do whatever it takes to eradicate it.”
Gene Kim, The Phoenix Project: A Novel about IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win

Paul David Tripp
“Limits not only reveal his wisdom; they also express his love. Limits are not a prison; they are a grace. You cannot allow your leadership community to assign more work to a leader than can be done in the time allotted to him or her. You cannot ask a person to pile work upon work, day after day, without periodic Sabbaths of rest. There are few more important things for a spiritually healthy leadership community to consider than the time limits that God designed for his creation from the get-go.”
Paul David Tripp, Lead: 12 Gospel Principles for Leadership in the Church
