"Without doubt, O mighty-armed, the mind is restless and hard to restrain; but through practice and dispassion it can be controlled."
Modern explanation
When the day pushes against you, remember: A restless mind is not a broken mind. Practice, patiently repeated, slowly bends it.
Practical application
Treat the next task as the entire universe. Do only that, fully, then look up.
