Don't duck the most difficult problems. That just ensures that the hardest part will be left when you are most tired. Get the big one done - it's downhill from then on.

About This Quote

There are many people who are afraid of the most difficult problems that are before them. They are afraid of the difficulty, but they do not want to be left behind. So they continue to focus on the easiest problems and they never get the big one done. Because they are not working on the hardest problem, it is simply put off until they are most tired at the end of the day.

This is a terrible idea because if you do not solve the hardest problem, then it will be even harder to handle when you do have time to work on it. It is also a terrible idea if you have just finished doing your hardest problem and now that you have some time to relax, you want to play on social media or watch TV. Every minute spent playing games or watching TV means one less minute of hard work at solving hard problems.
