Resistance is Fertile

For me, the resistance disguises itself as important, even urgent work that could and should be put aside. The resistance most often looks like checking my email. Email is the perfect distraction for me, because it’s fresh, new and bite-sized. When I turn off email, even for an hour, my productivity triples.

Seth Godin, in an interview with Steven Pressfield. In Godin's new book, Linchpin, he talks about the need to overcome resistance [i.e., self-sabotage] in order to make your mark.
