In the book

And here is the hinge that the careful and the clever both forget — the swing from deciding to doing. Once the decision is made, act on it without hesitating. Define the win vividly first — the more concretely you can picture the benefit, the more surely you will move — and break it into a simple action plan; then do the most important thing first, one thing at a time, starting now. As Patton said, a good plan violently executed now beats a perfect plan next week; sometimes you simply must be bold and move before you can be sure. — Decisions & Choices (Decision/Choice/Focus/Forethought/Consequences)
