The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.
“When I work, I work. I don't think about anything else. I just wanna get the work done. And I'm a perfectionist.”
“I know what I have to do and I plan to do it. It's a good time to get it done and get it behind me. It's treatable, so why not treat it now? My family will give me comfort but I have to do this alone.”
