Achieve more by doing less
from The Motivation Myth: How High Achievers Really Set Themselves Up to Win by Jeff Haden
How to Apply This
-
Let certain things be left undone.
For example, you could decide to not read a few reports, so you can make time for the most important things. -
Prune your to-do list.
Limit your to-do list to just three or four items that will make a big difference. -
Drop some personal commitments.
For example, you could forgo parties for a period to concentrate on achieving a major goal. -
Fire high maintenance, low revenue clients.
This will allow you to focus on the high revenue clients that can increase your profitability. -
Cut expenses on things you don’t need or want.
This will help you channel your finances towards things that can help you achieve your goals. -
Create a window for reflection.
Make time to reflect so you can make changes that can help you achieve your goals.
