So often success is less about what someone is capable of and more about what they are willing to do. Work always expands to fill the time allotted. This reminds me of in school when the teacher assigned a paper that was going to be due in 1 month. The assignment would sit and no work was done until the last couple of days before it had to be handed in. Goals are just like the paper. If you give your self too much time it gets put off until the last minute and you see that you can get it all done in 3 days if only you had given your self the deadline earlier.
