Doing it a bit more when tired, when the mind wanting to think and get into usual routines of worry. Continuing the work, the intention gets better, because now the intention is very conscious.

It is not about pushing.  Letting go of the brakes, noting the automatic flywheel that started running from habit. One sits inside, in the 'may it be done' mode, letting all the chatter and movement to happen, while the focus is on the work. Without effort, but there. Next action and the next and so on is allowed to happen.

A nice way to understand the mind without fighting, and the work gets done. Instead of going for the usual whinings, how one can't, how one should not, convincing how something is the right thing to do.

An intelligent one once told how he would read to the 26th page if he felt like stopping and getting into the meandering by 22nd page. "keep the backyard clean" he said.

"Will is of the self" we have been told.

It does clear a lot of things. The obvious one being freeing us from the habitual movements of the mind and associated baggage by having a strong reference – coming back to work amidst the moving mind.
