On Being Industrious

Be industrious, this is what one must be in life. The power of making tiny little improvements, but making them consistently every single day. Progress, over time. Small but daily advancements.
How do I combat and eliminate all time waste?
The power of using a good system. A systematic approach. Finding the most efficient way, the best way.
Minimum work/effort expense for maximum product/result. Seek that in all things.
Unfinished work today is extra work for tomorrow.
Employ your time excellently
When the choice arises between doing work or not, do the work, because this will eliminate the possibility of wasted time. Wasted time is the greatest enemy.
Perhaps develop the energy first, train and improve this, mental and physical stamina and workload, to outperform the average.
Be steadily active.
Look for results. Be action-oriented.
Work is life.
Have a mental map of what you need to get done and when you are doing it, what sequence. Daily, weekly, monthly, and so on. Especially day-to-day.
Importance of good personal time management.
One of the greatest errors a man can make, not working hard enough.
Don't attempt to sleep unless you really feel it. Otherwise it usually won't work.
Make sure to give your body and mind ample opportunity to rest and sleep. Then push yourself even though you may feel tired/sleepy/have minor aches or pains because you are really not, not to the point that you would need to genuinely worry about it.
Actually doing it is the most important thing.
Keep your activities in a time order and assignment and limits, with the goal of maximizing your productivity and value for time.
Define Industriousness-what is waste? How do you measure progress or improvement of efficiency objectively?
The main aim of training is to improve performance, therefore to possess a high level of capability in that area which you are training.
Mono tasking may be more efficient
Be prompt. If you intend to do something, do not fidget about it, or drag it out, or repeatedly re-consider it, or wait on it too long. Finish it, and in reasonable time.
