“Anything that must yet be done, virtue can do with courage and promptness. For anyone would call it a sign of foolishness for one to undertake a task with a lazy and begrudging spirit, or to push the body in one direction and the mind in another, to be torn apart by wildly divergent impulses.”
- Seneca, Moral Letters, 74.31b-32

Conclusion
Stay focused. Move forward with intent. Perform to the best of your abilities and finish the job.
